NU volleyball programs basks in rare feat of UAAP golden double
National University's women's and men's volleyball teams achieved a historic golden double, becoming twin champions in the UAAP Season 86 Finals.
Both teams completed convincing series sweeps against the University of Santo Tomas in Game 2, playing before an ecstatic 22,515 crowd at Mall of Asia Arena.
NU is the first school since Ateneo in Season 77 (2015) to win both volleyball titles in the same year.
This marks the first time in NU's history that both the men's and women's teams won championships in a single season.
The Lady Bulldogs, led by MVPs Bella Belen and Alyssa Solomon, secured their second title in three years and fourth overall, completing a redemption arc after a runner-up finish last year.
The Bulldogs cemented their status as the best men's team with their fourth consecutive championship, their sixth overall, becoming the first four-peat titlist since UST in Season 73 (2011).
