Olivarez College vs. PCU-D in UCAL title game
Olivarez College and Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas will compete for the PGFlex Linoleum-backed Universities and Colleges Athletic League (UCAL) championship on Thursday, April 3, at Paco Arena in Manila.
Both teams are eager to establish themselves as new contenders after perennial title favorites Centro Escolar University and Diliman College have been absent from recent tournaments.
Olivarez College, led by Jhon Patrick Panelo, Rodel Renon, and foreign player Hakim Njiasse, aims for their third championship attempt following two previous losses to CEU.
Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas is making its first finals appearance since joining the league in Season 2, with key players Joshua Diño, Ram Mesqueriola, and Kingsley Anaba.
The championship game will start at 12 noon, with both teams looking for redemption after previous setbacks; Olivarez lost to CEU two years ago while PCU-D was eliminated by Diliman Blue Dragons last season despite finishing second overall.
