The listless UE Lady Warriors hope to get elusive breakthrough when they face the struggling Ateneo Blue Eagles.
Van Bangayan and the UE Lady Warriors are determined to break into the win column as they face the Ateneo Blue Eagles in their final first-round match of UAAP Season 87 on Saturday, March 15, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
UE has yet to secure a victory in six outings, but Bangayan has remained a steady offensive presence.
This time, she hopes to turn her strong performances into a long-awaited win for the Lady Warriors.
On the other side, Ateneo is also searching for answers, dealing with a depleted roster due to injuries, including the recent setback to Sobe Buena.
Zey Pacia will be tasked with stepping up as the Blue Eagles try to halt their slide and improve on their 1-5 record.
With both squads eager to end their first-round struggles, expect a hard-fought battle as UE (0-6) looks to finally break through against Ateneo (1-5).
