The Ateneo Blue Eagles seek one final flight before they close the curtain on their UAAP Season 87 campaign against the UE Lady Warriors.
Lyann De Guzman and the Ateneo Blue Eagles aim to end their campaign with a much-needed win as they battle the UE Lady Warriors in UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball this Saturday, April 26 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Sitting at 4-9 and already out of Final Four contention, Ateneo looks to snap a four-game losing skid and finish this rebuilding season on a high. And if this marks the final collegiate match of veteran Lyann De Guzman, the Blue Eagles will be fighting not just for pride—but for a proper sendoff.
While her return next season remains uncertain, her leadership and scoring will be crucial in Ateneo’s bid to leave a lasting impression in their swan song of Season 87.
On the other side, UE (0-13) is desperate to avoid a winless season.
The Lady Warriors came close in their first-round encounter with Ateneo, only to fall short in heartbreaking fashion.
Now, with one final shot at redemption, standout Khy Cepada hopes to will her team to a long-awaited breakthrough.
With no playoff implications on the line, both squads will be playing for pride, purpose, and closure as they close the curtain on their Season 87 campaigns.
