STEPPING ONTO the court with a laser focus on growth and excellence, the Ateneo Women’s Lawn Tennis Team is poised to make waves in UAAP Season 87. Under the unwavering leadership of Team Captain Althea Ong, the team blends seasoned experience with fresh talent, united by a shared vision of resilience and continuous improvement. Last season proved challenging for Ateneo, with their thinned roster displaying fortitude and heart despite missed opportunities that shaped their results. Now, veteran standouts Chelsea Roque, Zaina Omar, and Althea Martirez bring invaluable match insights and steady hands under pressure, while newcomer Angela Buyante signals a bright future for the unit, serving up a storm with her sharp skills and fierce competitive spirit. Though they have bid goodbye to much of last season’s veteran talent, the Blue Eagles’ current roster is more than ready to prove their worth, promising not just powerful serves but also a display of grit and determination in their pursuit of delivering for Loyola Heights.
