The Ateneo Lady Eagles is the collegiate women's varsity volleyball team of the Ateneo De Manila University. The team competes in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), the biggest collegiate volleyball league in the country.
The volleyball club from Quezon City, Philippines founded in 1975.
Ateneo may have lost key players Faith Nisperos and Vanie Gandler but new Blue Eagles captain Roma Mae Doromal believes that their rebuilding team was able to form a stronger bond, which could be their advantage in the UAAP Season 86 women’s volleyball tournament starting next week.
After missing the Final Four for the first time in 14 years last Season 85, the Blue Eagles will be parading a new look roster under Brazilian coach Sergio Veloso, who replaced Oliver Almadro.
But Doromal, who will be the second libero captain for Ateneo after Dani Ravena in Season 84, is optimistic about the chemistry they formed with holdovers AC Miner, Lyann De Guzman, Geezel Tsunashima, and Yvana Sulit as well as rookie setter Katherine Cortez from Bacolod Tay Tung High School.
