RFM, DLSU magkasama sa WPBL

Pormal na nilagdaan kahapon ng RFM Corporation ni Joey Concepcion III at ng Dela Salle University ang isang Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) kaugnay sa pag-iisa ng Sunkist at Lady Archers para sa 2009 Women’s Philippine Basketball League (WPBL).

“I commend (PBL) chairman Dr. Mikee Romero and Commissioner Chino Trinidad for reviving the WPBL,” wika ni Concepcion, ang anak na si Maria Luisa Margarita ay miyembro ng La Salle varsity team. “This will give our players something to look forward to after college basketball and this can help our national team to be more competitive in regional competition.”

Ang Lady Archers ay gagabayan ni dating Green Archers’ shooting guard Tyrone Bautista bilang head coach katuwang si assistant Susie Bambico.

Ang iba pang miyembro ng Sunkist-La Salle ay sina dating national team mainstay Regina Velarde, Khristine Prado, Bernadine Yamamoto, Olivia Ojeda, Abbigaile Masangkay, Jan Laureola, Angeli Gloriani, Sittie Dimaporo, Grace Cruz, Hannah Candano, Rica Andico at Kristine Alon-Alon.

Kaagad na makakasagupa ng Lady Archers ang karibal na Lady Blue Eagles ng Ateneo De Manila University sa paghataw ng 2008 WPBL sa Nobyembre 8 sa Ynares Sports Arena sa Pasig City.

Bukod sa Sunkist-La Salle at Nutri-C-Ateneo, ang iba pang tropa sa WPBL ay ang Oracle Residences-FEU, Smart-UP, Mail & More-Chiang Kai Shek, Ever Bilena-UST, Discovery Suites-RP Team, Muscle Tape-Lyceum, Extreme Magic Sing-RP Youth at Oracare Cool Mouthrinse-St. Benilde. (Russell Cadayona)
