Ateneo, NU assured of Final 4 spots in women's badminton

Ateneo de Manila University and National University have clinched their places in the Final 4 of the UAAP Season 86 women's badminton tournament.

This, after Ateneo scored a 4-1 win over archrival De La Salle University while NU fashioned a 4-1 triumph over University of Santo Tomas on Saturday at the Centro Atletico Badminton Center.

"Regarding the win, the team is, of course, very happy. But we will still do our best kasi sa mga next matches, maraming mas magcha-challenge sa 'min. We will always try to do better sa mga next games," Ateneo assistant coach Fides Bagasbas said. The Lady Bulldogs saw the country's third-ranked doubles pair of Gwyneth Desacola and Jeya Pinlac secure their place in the semifinals with a 21-18, 21-17 win over Patricia De Leon and Marielle Alvarez in the second doubles match.

Sarah Barredo and Lee-Anne De Leon then denied Jennifer Saladaga and Rhafi Santos the first doubles rubber with a 21-15, 21-14 victory to set up their seniors' heroics.
