La Salle has 'all the tools' to win UAAP crown: Pumaren
De La Salle University honored five championship teams at the Animo Champions Ring Ceremony on November 27, commemorating past glories and inspiring the current Green Archers team.
The celebrated teams include the squads from 1998, which won La Salle's first championship, and the subsequent four-peat title run that concluded in 2001.
The 2016 championship team was also honored with their long-awaited championship rings as part of the 25th anniversary of the school's breakthrough in UAAP Season 61.
The ceremony aims to motivate the Green Archers as they head into the UAAP Season 86 finals against the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, hoping to end a seven-year title drought.
Mayor Francis Zamora, a member of the 1998 and 1999 teams, expressed the hope that the ceremony would inspire the current team to win a championship and a ring for themselves and the school.
