MANILA, Philippines – University of Perpetual Help's powerful spiker, Joebert Almodiel, has once again been named the Most Valuable Player of the NCAA.

Almodiel earned the top individual honor in the Season 94 men's volleyball tournament after leading the Altas to a nine-game sweep of the elimination round.

He was also at the forefront of Perpetual Help's hard-earned 23-25, 25-19, 23-25, 25-23, 15-12 victory in Game 1 of the best-of-3 finals against De La Salle-College of St. Benilde (CSB), which put them on the brink of a second straight title.

"We are proud of him," said Perpetual Help coach Sammy Acaylar of his prized spiker. "He's really a hard worker."
