Princess Maicah Larroza (born May 19, 2001) is a Filipino volleyball player. She was a champion in both the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) high school and collegiate ranks before playing for the Farm Fresh Foxies in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL).
Early life
Growing up with her mother and volleyball coach-father, Larroza attended school in Bacolod City and represented the Negrenses in Western Visayas delegations for volleyball regionally and nationally (Palarong Pambansa).
Career
High school
Larroza was part of the champion team NU-Nazareth Lady Bullpups in UAAP girls' volleyball.
College
Larroza won another championship in the collegiate division, popularized by her being a "magic bunot" (sub). It was because her DLSU Lady Spikers needed to win three straight sets and they did with coach Ramil de Jesus' tactical substitution of utilizing her off the bench, erasing the commanding 0-2 lead of the NU Lady Bulldogs and giving La Salle its 12th title in the UAAP women's volleyball on May 16, 2023.
Club Career
Larroza was picked 4th overall by Farm Fresh in the 2024 PVL Draft.
The Foxies defeated the Akari Chargers for their first All-Filipino Conference win behind the heroics of Trisha Tubu, Louie Romero, and Larroza on November 30, 2024.
