UAAP Season 77 Badminton to commence on Saturday

Ateneo Blue Shuttlers

Ateneo is ready for their title defense in badminton, as UAAP action for this season begins tomorrow (August 9) at the Rizal Memorial Badminton Hall.

The Loyola Heights-based squad secured the championship double last year, with the Blue Shuttlers aiming for a back-to-back, while the Lady Shuttlers going for their third straight title.

Season 76 Rookie-MVP Bianca Carlos acknowledged the pressure that comes with being champions, and added that La Salle and UP will be major contenders in the distaff side.

The men, on the other hand, they will have to deal with Season 75 champions National University and perennial contenders UST. Season 76 MVP Patrick Natividad says that they will do their best, knowing that "other teams are preparing as well."
