BOTH UST chess teams capped their UAAP Season 76 tournament at fourth place after separate matches at the De La Salle University Enrique Razon Sports Center last Feb. 23.
After snagging the title from Far Eastern University (FEU) last year, the Male Woodpushers garnered only 33 points this season.
Tied with La Salle, they lost the tie-breaker that gave FEU the championship with 39.5 points. Adamson University came in second with 33.5 points.
The Female Woodpushers made their way to fourth place from sixth in Season 75 behind four-time champion La Salle, UP and FEU.
Still, the Woodpushers’ individual talents shone as Christian Flores won a gold medal in Board 3 while team captain Steven Dacanay, Michelle Yaon (Board 3) and Michaela Concio (Board 4) all secured silver medals. Paul Kennedy A. Lintag
