The UP Lady Maroons defeated the Unicorns to win the 2013 Ateneo Open crown.

MANILA, Philippines — University of the Philippines reigned supreme in the 2013 Ateneo Open after trouncing fancied Unicorns in the championship match Sunday night, June 16, at the Blue Eagle Gym in Quezon City.

The Lady Maroons, who finished 7th in the UAAP last season, rode on the heroics of Kathy Bersola to beat their foes, 25-20, 25-15, 19-25, 25-21, and annex their first crown under new coach Jerry Yee.

Bersola, a sophomore middle hitter, was named Finals MVP as UP defeated a Unicorns team boasting of four of Ateneo’s Fab Five in Gretchen Ho, Dzi Gervacio, A Nacachi and Fille Cainglet.

On their road to the crown, the Lady Maroons dethroned 2012 champions Hope-Laiya Coco Grove, bannered by Jem Ferrer, in the Final Four.

In the men’s side, the Makati Idols edged Team Agot, 24-26, 24-26, 25-23, 25-16, 15-13. – Rappler.com
