 leaving the Ateneo faithful stunned.

Final
[DLSU - 2    ADM - 1]

This was the Lady Eagles final elimination match.  For the Hail Mary Squad to book a ticket to the finals UST has to win its next match AND DLSU has to lose against UP on Sunday, February 10.  It's a most unenviable/uncomfortable

predicament that Lady Eagles are in now - having their fate in the hands of several teams.  BUT - Just as the sub title goes - It's not over till it's over.

PS 

I'VE ALWAYS stayed after each match I shoot - to take [sometimes compelling] behind-the-scenes post match images.  The drama of sport continues even after the final whistle.

My coverage is NEVER complete without  such images.

[Have lots of acquiantances / buddies  [athletes/coaches/fans/parents supporters alike] in both the La Salle and Ateneo Teams.]   It's just that - that Sunday afternoon - with still a few minutes left in the Arches-Eagles match - I had to leave ASAP for an emergency. #@!+^%! So - So I don't have a single post match photo.
