UST is UAAP champion for the 34th time

For THE ninth straight year, UST has shown once again IT IS lord of the UAAP jungle by grabbing its 34th overall general championship and wrapping up its Season 69 campaign on a high note.

UST won 13 UAAP titles in 26 disciplines for a whopping 331 points, relegating perennial rival University of the Philippines-Diliman (UP) and Far Eastern University (FEU) to second and third places with 254 and 218 markers, respectively.

Silent waters run deep

SHE IS volleyball’s poker-faced, black-gold-white figure who hardly rides the emotional bandwagon whenever relief or dismay confronts her play.

Despite lacking the flair and swagger of many superstars in the UAAP volleyball circuit, UST Spiker and Season 69 MVP Venus Bernal has never failed to silently deliver the goods at crunchtime. Should she score or commit a mistake during play, she tells herself to “keep it cool”, and either UST wins or lose, she uses it as a motivation to win the next time around.

Salinggawi to lead UAAP opening rites

THE FIVE-TIME UAAP Cheerdance champ Salinggawi Dance Troupe is preparing a fusion of modern folk and jazz dances for the opening ceremonies of UAAP Season 70 hosted by UST this July.

Choreographed by Ryan Silva and Rene Hofileña, Salinggawi’s long-time choreographers, the three-part exhibition will run roughly nine minutes. The first part will consist of a variety of dances such as modern jazz, cheerdance, and hip-hop while the succeeding two parts will utilize barrio themes accompanied by folk dance music in an upbeat tempo.

Lady Jins stand out in All-Women’s TKD tilt

THEY ARE definitely on a league of their own.

More than spewing fire on the UAAP mat, the UST Lady Jins kicked their way to an impressive finish in the 2007 Petron National All-Womens’ Taekwondo Championship last May 20 at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Unfazed amidst strong opposition from members of the RP juniors team and UAAP rival schools, the “four-peat” champion Lady Jins bagged five golds, one silver, and five bronzes to reaffirm their billing as tournament heavyweights in the day-long event.

UST crushes La Salle

REVENGE is sweet for the UST Lady Spikers as they whipped bitter rivals De La Salle University Lady Archers in a booming 23-25, 25-20, 25-18, 25-16 win in the 4th Shakey’s V-League tournament last May 22 at the Arena in San Juan.

Yearning for a rematch for the last two years after their V-League finals loss back in July 2005, coach Augusto Santamaria’s wards came out roaring in every possession and showed no sign of being intimidated, even against La Salle’s towering guest player, Sanorseeang Areerat, a Thailand national player.

UST judokas cop silvers, bronzes in nat’l tourney

WITH their majestic UAAP billing on the line, the UST Judokas simply refused to go home empty-handed as they fought tooth-and-nail in the Philippine National Judo Championship last April 29 and 30 at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Tigresses score fiery debut; Tigers-B bow out after first win

UPBEAT despite taking a momentary slide in its off-season grind, the UST Tigresses stayed on course in the 2007 Nike Summer League even as their male counterparts bowed out of the tournament after claiming their first victory

The erstwhile unbeaten Tigresses absorbed their first loss after surrendering a 47-57 decision to the Philippine College of Criminology (PCCr) Lady Enforcers last May 9. But the loss hardly derailed the España-based cagebelles’ campaign as they remained on top of Group 1 with a 4-1 win-loss record.

UST falls to FEU anew in Ang Liga Filipina

WITH TWO key players in limbo, the UST Lady Booters licked their bridesmaid scars anew as they dropped a 1-4 contest to UAAP champion Far Eastern University (FEU) in the 1st Philippine Football Federation–Ang Liga Filipina Football finals last March 31 at the Philsports football arena.

Tigresses finish second in Home and Away tiff

IT COULD have been a twin kill for the UST Tigresses.

The España-based cagebelles nearly delivered a peat of their title-clinching Season 69 campaign but fell short of that as the resurgent Far Eastern University (FEU) Lady Tamaraws gored them, 43-56, in the Home and Away Invitational League (HAIL) Finals last March 27 at the FEU Gym.

Throughout the game, coach Peque Tan’s wards struggled with their offense, particularly their perimeter shots, against FEU’s rugged defensive plays.

Dableo’s fight far from over

FOR UST Lady Woodpushers head coach Ronald Dableo, there is nothing more painful than being tagged as a cheat.

Serving a one-year suspension for alleged game-fixing, the International Master (IM) Dableo said that the decision by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) was both “inappropriate” and an “overkill” since only three players were found by the investigation committee guilty of the charges.
