DLSU Volleyball Lady Archers

The De La Salle Green Archers (also La Salle Green Archers) is the men's varsity team representing De La Salle University. The women's team is referred to as the De La Salle Lady Archers. The program participates in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, among others. La Salle's current rival is the Ateneo de Manila University, a rivalry that has raged, as claimed, as early as 1939, when both schools were still competing in the NCAA.^[1] La Salle is represented in the high school level by De La Salle Zobel, and are known as the Zobel Junior Archers.

The De La Salle Green Archers was a founding member of the NCAA Philippines in 1924. La Salle participated in the league for 57 years winning 5 NCAA General Championships in the process (1939,1947, 1956, 1971, and 1974). The high school (Juniors' division) counterpart was the De La Salle Greenies until 1968 when De La Salle High School in Manila was dissolved. The Greenies had won 2 General Championships. La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) was established in 1959 and was eventually made the high school counterpart of De La Salle. It inherited the moniker Greenies and eventually became known as the Junior Archers. LSGH won 8 General Championships until 1980 when La Salle withdrew from the NCAA.

From 1981 through 1985 the school participated in the PICUAA, invitational meets, interclub tournaments, and National Open.

De La Salle University (DLSU) then joined the UAAP but was rejected after Ateneo and UST voted against La Salle's membership.^[2] La Salle was eventually accepted in 1986. La Salle was forced to drop LSGH as their Juniors' team as a prerequisite to their membership in the UAAP and picked the newly-established De La Salle Zobel (DLSZ). LSGH was later asked by De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde to compete as their Juniors' team in the NCAA when it applied and was accepted in 1998. De La Salle-College of St. Benilde has since then won 3 NCAA General Championships and LSGH 4 General Championships in the NCAA since their re-entry (giving LSGH 12 General Championship titles). Both DLSU and DLSZ have yet to win a General Championship in the UAAP.
