Eagles Boot Out Archers - {revised}

 April 28, Thursday  - Rizal Stadium

Another Ateneo-La Salle Encounter 

that goes

Down the Wire

- Both Ateneo and La Salle are a single win away from the UAAP Finals -

Is that Hector Borromeo fronting Mikko Mabanag #19 ?

Prize Rookie 
Javy Gayoso

Mabanag #19 and Colet #4 try to crowd Gonzales #10.

Alcantara #16  vs  Mabanag #19

Nace Gonzales #10 and Julian Roxas #7 look to gain control

as Poe #27 and Rocha #29 watch.

Carlo Liay [not in frame] drills one in for Ateneo { 36th minute}.

Green Archer Gelo Diamante #7 equalizes the match at 1-all on the 75th minute - { have no image of that } and after the end of regulation time AND two extension periods, a penalty shoot out ensues.

Ateneo keeper JP Oracion's [game defining] deflection of Jose Montelibano's attempt[penalty shoot-out], knocks DLSU out and sends the Blue Eagles into the UAAP Finals.

Hero and King Eagle of the UAAP semis - JP Oracion - is shown in 4 sequential images above, being mobbed by his fellow Blue Eagles.

 Mona, Benjo, and Erika

 Enzo Bonoan[former UAAP Champ] and 

JP Oracion [now a UAAP Finalist] have every reason to smile.

Ateneo's  Richard Palou, Coach Bob Manlulo,

 Erika Dy, Jun Dalandan, Benjo Afuang, and Mr. M Fernandez

happily oblige.

{Liay still has one playing year next season}

The Ateneo Blue Eagles and the UP Fighting Maroons clash in one 
Winner-Take-All Championship Match on May 5, Thursday, 

at the Rizal Stadium turf.

I snapped these images of several Fighting Maroons, after UP's W over UST just before the Ateneo - La Salle knockout match.

For the UAAP Women's Football Crown, both UP and DLSU will also 

figure in one Winner-take-All mChampionship match, on the same date.

{ no images of the UP and DLSU Women's Team, are in this post }

B - b - b - b - Bromance ?
ha ha ha  !
Ki - dding !

UP Fighting Maroons Daniel Gadia and Patxie Santos [above], just enjoying a post-match moment - knowing that they're just a win away from a UAAP Championship

AWFT keepers Marianne Caparros and Kitkat Montelibano [below] share a cheerfully light post-match moment, too, on cam - well aware that their brother AMFT is also just a win away from another UAAP Championship.

Adler Tag - {revised}

from April 27 -Wednesday - MoA Arena

a Few Faces 

from

the Lady Eagles' 

Classic {Dramatic} Comeback
and the Blue Eagles 2nd Straight UAAP Men's Championship

- a random mosaic of close-ups, action shots, & b-t-scenes snaps -
{unsequentially} arranged

The Lady Spikers take Sets 1 and 2

With DLSU just a set away from a UAAP Championship   ....  
Alyssa Valdez, Cassandra Gequillana, Julia Morado and the rest of the Lady eagles .... face a seemingly insurmountable challenge  .....

... but what simply happened in the next three sets   ......   {Tang Ina !!!} became one of the most Dramatic, and Truly Inspiring { the understatement of the year !} comebacks in college volleyball [in years] !!

What made my Wednesday a lil' more pleasant was making new acquintances [pre-game] with Jorelle Singh, Ivy Perez of the NU Bulldogs and surprisingly bumping [post-game] into Karylle. 

 FYI, she's been my long time crush [mild lang pre, mild lang ...], as in, I just find her so attractive [the "sneaker pimp", she is - ha ha ha - and yes, I teased her that].

Jorelle, Ivy, and Aiko

She [Karylle] had just watched her first ever UAAP Volleyball Match, at that, and it just happened to be one of the most Exciting AND Truly Dramatic  UAAP Women's Volleyball Finals Matches in Years !! - Trust me !
Watch Pa more !  Karylle !

 Karylle

Actually met Karylle last July 7, at a photo exhibit, and had the fortune of taking "much obliged" on-the-spot close up portraits {an impromptu mini-portrait shoot, at that!} of the celeb,  as she was just chilling with some common acquintances of ours. {You can check out my July, 2015 blog posts}

                                         

 As if to exemplify the spunk and grit that had just helped the Lady Eagles soar over the .......  eh Basta ! , Karyle was just so relaxed, light-hearted {"napakagaan ang dating"}  .... wala lang  .... so, casually taking on-the-spot close ups of the lady was quite effortless on my part

 Lest i forget to share this the pre-game casual snap i managed, of
 UAAP Season 78, awardees -> Majoy Baron, Isay Molde, and Jaja Santiago 

Ysay

Rex

How often do I get a chance to craft a very nice, a practically "perfectly backlit" image of a UAAP athlete, connecting with some die-hards ??? Rarely, at the very, very least !

Tears of Joy 

- Love this One ! - 

See ya ALL on Saturday

{the last of April} - at the Big Dome

for the BIG Game !
