UCAL welcomes Season 7 with 10-team roster

MANILA, Philippines — Tougher competition is expected as the University and Colleges Athletic League-PG Flex Linoleum welcomes two new schools for Season 7 which fires off Thursday at the Paco Arena.

Following a successful season last year where the league welcomed Manila Central University and Philippine Women’s University, UCAL is once again opening its door to Immaculada Concepcion College-Caloocan and WCC Aeronautics and Technological College, bringing the number of member schools to 10.

Host Diliman College is one of the holdovers alongside Centro Escolar U, Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas, Olivarez College, Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas and University of Batangas.

“I see that UCAL is moving forward with the addition of two new schools. I think the basketball program is very good also. And it will give the other eight schools a real challenge in this department,” said chairman Horacio Lim, who was joined by the board of trustees, the new policy board members and representatives of the 10 member schools during the season launch at the Diliman College-The Hub yesterday.
