MANILA, Philippines – When it comes to collegiate rivalries, few teams come close to the intensity and lore that the Ateneo Blue Eagles and the De La Salle Green Archers share.

The two teams met for the first time in the 75 season of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines on Saturday (July 29), both sporting the same win-loss record (2-1).

The Saturday showdown would have been the Taft-based squad’s chance to score a long-awaited win against Ateneo. But Coach Norman Black’s squad did not want any of that.

With their 71-61 win, the Eagles kept their dominance over La Salle. The Eagles have won 10 of their last 11 UAAP games against the Archers. 

Here are a few highlights of the two teams’ first meeting this season, as captured by Josh Albelda:
