UST XI returns to finals

-

MANILA, Philippines - University of Santo Tomas, as expected, made it to the men’s finals of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines football event in 73rd season by blanking Ateneo de Manila University, 5-0, yesterday at the Erenchun field inside the Ateneo campus.

UST freshman Fidel Kue hit a goal in the 25th minute off an assist by Ojay Clariño to start the onslaught and the Tigers were never been stopped from thereon on the way to a 6-2-2 win-loss draw for 20 points – enough to hold the second place.

Other players who made a goal for UST were Ronald Bautista (40th), OJ Clariño (55th), David Basa (76th), and John Caballero (83rd).

Rookie Jinggoy Valmayor scored two goals as University of the Philippines posted a 2-0 victory against De La Salle University. UP collected 28 points on a 9-1-0 slate.

The UP-UST championship will be played on Sunday, where the Fighting Maroons are armed with a twice-to-beat advantage. They need to win only once to regain the crown it last won in 2009.

The Green Archers finished third with a 4-4-2 mark for 16 points.

UST gained the twice-to-beat bonus in the women’s finals by beating Far Eastern University, 2-1.
