Hey - a match coverage would be incomplete without some
"Keeper Action"
- as in - it's Highs and Lows  .....
[sev images follow below]

AJ Javier clears !
 Keeper in Mid-Air Profile Pic - Anyone ?

The AWFT is a mix of a few familiar and 
[more] unfamiliar [new] faces -
{as far as I'm concerned}

 Camrod

Julia

 - Tessa Bernardo  -
 One Goal for Ateneo !
Great for the Confidence for this UAAP Hopeful

- Camille "CamRod" Rodriguez - 
Two Goals for the Blue and White
Why am I not Surprised ?

- Fiona Faulkner -
She played for Ateneo way back late 2012 [UAAP Season 75] - 
 but left the team before the X'Mas break 
She played for Sikat FC [Mands Fernandez] the following summer
- I bumped into her last May of 2013 at the Pinay Futbal League

Will she make it to the Season 78 UAAP Team ?
Hope so ...
Not only that - I Pray she gets to score a Bundle ! 
Why Not ?!

Go Girl !

 - Cristina de los Reyes -

Earned "Rookie of the Year" honors way back UAAP Season 74 

actually skipped two seasons thereafter and returned to the League 
the past Season [77, that is] and
 had the rare opp of playing for a UAAP Championship 
[but the formidable FEU Lady Tams had other plans - as we all know]


Personally - I would love to see the Lady Eagles and the Lady Maroons 
battle the UAAP Gold, come mid-2016
{that's when then UAAP Football Season 78 ends}
Whatever

Final
Ateneo -3       UP -1
 

Chill ! - Cristina !

Losing sucks - But it's just a Friendly OK ?

UAAP Football commences 2016  pa !

FYI -
 I heard that there are 40 plus !  UAAP hopefuls
[which includes the latest roster], 
as far as the Lady Maroons are concerned

Sabrina Nierras {4th photo in this post} converted for the Lady Maroons
Cam Rodriguez [2 goals] and Tessa Bernardo  [1 goal] combined for Ateneo's three

Look at Julia Sucgang [below]  .....

No Hurries !! - Worries !!

Head Coach Bob Manlulo
