Most Valuable Player (MVP) Clarice Patrimonio fashioned out a dominating 6-1, 6-3 win over Erika Manduriao in the second singles to seal the deal for the Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Bulldogs also emerged victorious in doubles, as the pair of Jzash Canja and Apoul Polito defeated Shymae Guitaran and Erika Manduriao, 6-2, 6-0. The championship was a great send off for the five Lady Bulldogs players led by Christine to their collegiate careers. “I told them to make it count, make it memorable,” said coach Karl Santamaria, who also accomplished a four-peat for NU men’s lawn tennis from 2013-16. Ateneo de Manila University’s Nicole Amistad, meanwhile, took home the Rookie of the Year honors, the second Lady Eagles player to do so after Jana Pages last season.
