THE DAWN of a new era is upon the Ateneo Men’s Volleyball Team (AMVT) as they suit up for the UAAP Season 85 stage. With a mix of returning veterans and fresh recruits, the Blue Eagles share a single goal of securing the gold and the glory for Ateneo.

Following championships that ran from Season 77 to 79, and a silver and bronze finish in the succeeding seasons, the AMVT’s quest to reclaim the banner was delayed after the discontinuation of Season 82. Since then, the team has been building their ranks and training hard to refine their plays, cementing their identity as a force to be reckoned with.

This year, Head Coach Timmy Sto. Tomas and Team Captain Lance De Castro are spearheading the hunt for the gold. Apart from the strong defense and powerful offense from the wings that they aim to maintain, Ateneo is developing their middle blockers to rally points with rookie Chad Absin and senior Jett Gopio at the forefront.

Eager to showcase their full potential, the Blue Eagles are ready to return with steady defense, aggressive kills, and an impenetrable blockade for the Blue and White.
