UAAP: Khy Cepada, UE aim to avoid winless Season 87 in final duel vs Ateneo

Khy Cepada and the UE Lady Warriors enter their final match of UAAP Season 87 with one goal in mind—salvage pride and avoid a winless campaign as they take on Lyann De Guzman and the Ateneo Blue Eagles on Saturday, April 26 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Currently at 0-13, the Lady Warriors have endured another tough season, but signs of life were evident in their first-round battle against Ateneo, where they came agonizingly close to a breakthrough win. 

This time, Cepada—the team’s consistent spark—hopes to finally lead UE to victory and end the year with something to celebrate.

Standing in their way is an Ateneo squad (4-9) looking to finish strong after a four-match slide. 

Though out of the Final Four, the Blue Eagles—led by Lyann De Guzman, whose future with the program remains uncertain—will fight to preserve their pride and improve their record before bowing out.

With nothing but heart and hunger on the line, expect an emotional showdown between two teams eager to write a winning final chapter in their Season 87 story.
