Faith Nisperos and the Ateneo Blue Eagles look to come back stronger. 🏐 'Like they said, the time may not be now, but this team will definitely fight until the end for the years to come.'
MANILA, Philippines – The Ateneo Blue Eagles captured the attention of both fans and critics alike after a strong title defense attempt at the UAAP Season 84 women’s volleyball tournament.
Despite the season-ending loss to their heated rivals, no less, Ateneo head coach Oliver Almadro was nothing but upbeat as he praised his girls’ resilience amid adversity. “I really want to improve our on-court maturity. Skill-wise, I’ve already gotten help from my coaches, so the next step is maturity. It’s something I have to work on myself and with the help of my coaches,” she said in Filipino.
“Like they said, the time may not be now, but this team will definitely fight until the end for the years to come,” said Ravena, the younger sister of former Ateneo basketball stalwarts Kiefer and Thirdy.
