Ateneo eyes another victory — this time against the UP Fighting Maroons in UAAP Season 88 women's basketball.
The Ateneo Blue Eagles look to protect their spotless record when they take on the UP Fighting Maroons in the highly-anticipated UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball edition of “Battle of Katipunan” on Wednesday, October 8.
Tip off is 7:00 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Riding high with a perfect 3-0 slate, the Blue Eagles aim to keep their momentum going and tighten their grip on the top spot.
Rookie Erika De Luna, who had a breakout performance against La Salle, will be one to watch as she continues to make an early impact for Ateneo.
The Blue Eagles will again look to complement De Luna’s energy with the steady leadership of back-to-back MVP Kacey Dela Rosa, who remains the team’s anchor on both ends of the floor.
But UP, sitting at 2-1, will be out for redemption after suffering their first loss of the season in a lopsided defeat to NU.
Mariel Vigno, who paced the Fighting Maroons with 13 points in that loss, is expected to lead their charge as they aim to stop Ateneo’s unbeaten run.
With pride, rivalry, and early-season supremacy at stake, Ateneo aims to soar higher in this latest chapter of the Battle of Katipunan.
