Her four-month break caused her to miss some of Creamline Cool Smashers' crucial games. Yet on the brighter side, it gave her ample time to fully recover and regain strength for her comeback in the team lineup.
Volleyball fans saw Alyssa's return to the playing court at the recent Creamline Cool Smashers game in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Phenom was radiant in her spaghetti strap top and baggy pants when she made a guest appearance on GMA 7's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda."
"Finally, I'm able to play again, Tito Boy," she happily declared.
It was sports analyst Boom Gonzalez who gave Alyssa the moniker Phenom back in college when the volleyball star was still a varsity player at Ateneo de Manila University.
I love watching sports but in terms of playing the actual sport, please don't bother anymore to ask how good or bad I am. During the Olympics, I would watch all of the events - volleyball, gymnastics, pole vault, basketball, etc. But my focus was on volleyball and one of the reasons was because everybody was talking about Japanese player Ran Takahashi.
Alyssa revealed she has personally met Ran whom she described as "good-looking and super nice." She also mentioned how very interactive their conversation was "because back then, he needed to return to Japan. And then, he wanted to show his love for all the fans kasi hindi niya natapos 'yung games niya dito sa Manila."
