La Salle nabs UAAP table tennis titles

La Salle dominated the ping pong tables at the Blue Eagle Gym, as the Green Paddlers and the Lady Paddlers snapped up the UAAP Season 77 titles for both men and women.

The Green Paddlers, led by MVP Jerald Cristobal, made it back-to-back in men's table tennis, capping off an undefeated season with a 3-0 sweep of the University of the Philippines in both finals games.


The Lady Paddlers, behind two-time MVP Ian Lariba, secured its third title in UAAP history by defeating UP, 3-1 in Game 2. La Salle avenges their shock defeat to the Lady Paddlers from Diliman in the finals last year, after they had swept the eliminations in Season 76.

Lariba clinched the title with a 16-14, 11-3, 11-3 victory over Nishino Noriko. Afterwards, she acknowledged it as her sweetest victory, as they hurdled a lot of obstacles in winning the championship.

In addition, Vladimir Rarama of Adamson and Josephine Talay of FEU were named as the Rookie of the Year for both divisions.
