Ateneo Blue Eagles start UAAP Season 86 volleyball under new coach Veloso

The Ateneo Blue Eagles are set to compete in the upcoming UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball tournament under new coach Sergio Veloso.

Former head coach Oliver Almadro has moved on to coach the UP Fighting Maroons, while veteran player Roma Mae Doromal is now the team captain.

Despite losing key players Vannie Gandler and Faith Nisperos to the Premier Volleyball League, the Blue Eagles are adapting well to their new system under Veloso's guidance.

Veloso expressed optimism about his team's preparation and readiness for the upcoming season, emphasizing a focus on performance improvement rather than just winning matches.

The team aims to return to the Final Four but is focusing on taking each game one at a time with full effort and performance, as highlighted by their fourth-place finish in the recent Akari Invitational Cup.
