The UE squad did not field a women’s team in the Kyorogi tournament last year. This year, they opened season matched-up against NU. The welcoming committee, National University, finally bagged their first victory in the women’s division of the UAAP taekwondo tournament, edging out University of the East, 5-2.
UE’s Dymyr Lobaton would take home the victory in the finweight division over Crystal Faith Hukom to give the host school the first point. The next five matches however would belong to NU, with Angela Kim Loren, Rheza Aragon, Shiryl Badol, Darlene Mae Arpon, and Grace Oneida Garfin edging out the UE jins in their respective assignments. Though NU would once more concede the middleweight match due to the absence of a player for the weight class, the five-match streak would be enough to help NU bag its first win of the season.
