Yet the Lady Eagles blew those expectations out of the water. With setter and new team captain Jia Morado leading the way, the Katipunan volleybelles soared to the top seed at the end of the elimination round, tallying a 12-2 win-loss record, including two impressive wins over defending champion De La Salle University.

In Season 79, the Lady Eagles unveiled a more dynamic, balanced offense, as Morado spread the wealth among several attackers. As no single player can fully fill in Valdez's shoes, young stars like Jho Maraguinot, Michelle Morente, Bea de Leon, and Kat Tolentino instead combined to put up the numbers for Ateneo.
