UST Lady Jins fall out of top 2 with upset loss against FEU


With the entire University of the Philippines and Far Eastern University contingent seating side-by-side to cheer on the Lady Tamaraws on one side and the UST contingent on the other of the arena, the tension between both sides was thick. However, in a monumental turn of events, FEU upsets last year’s champions to give UP the UAAP Season 77 Women’s Taekwondo Championship.

Ronielette Balancio blasted Colleen Heria 9-4 to win the finweight bout. Korina Paladin tied the series with an 8-6 win over Geena Gadit. In an upset at the bantamweight division, Cindy Balmes shut-out former MVP Nicole Cham. Both Balmes and Cham hardly connected on a successful kick all throughout the match. However, Cham’s two 1st round kyonggos cost her the match to give Balmes a 1-0 win. Bianca Go tied the series once more with an 11-8 win over Virhannah Glindo. Sarah Tej Gill gave FEU the series lead once more with a 10-3 win over Zay Cajes.

For the Lady Tamaraws the welterweight match between Clouie Bolinas and Arriane Asegurado as they could not afford a loss in this bout since Philippine Team Member Jane Narra was almost a sure-win for the Tigresses throughout the season. Prior to the bout, Arriane Asegurado had a clean 5-0 late while Bolinas was 4-1. The FEU-UP contingent serenaded Bolinas with a Let’s go Tamaraws chant to welcome her on to the mat. After a 1st round that saw Bolinas and Asegurado test each other out, the scorecard was 0-0. Bolinas exploded right after the round break with a series of successful kicks. From 4-all, the Bolinas lead would extend to as high as 13-5 before the clock hit 0. Clouie Bolinas defeated Arriane Asegurado to give, not only FEU the win, but UP the coveted championship.
