The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA finally put an end to their six-game losing streak, securing a much-needed victory against Arellano University.


Head Coach Olsen Racela couldn't hide his relief after breaking the slump. Despite enduring a rough patch through the early stretch of the season, the Altas never lost hope and stayed true to their core identity—pure, relentless effort.


Coach Olsen highlighted a simple lesson he constantly reminds his squad "The harder you work, the luckier you get."


Though they struggled in previous matches with defensive lapses and closing out tight finishes, the team never wavered. They stayed locked into the game plan, put in the extra work, and committed to fixing their mistakes.


That persistence finally paid off against Arellano. Fueled by clutch plays down the stretch in the fourth quarter, Perpetual proved that fortune favors the diligent. With this breakthrough win, the Altas carry a renewed sense of belief as they look to build momentum and chain more wins together in NCAA Season 102.
