UAAP: Ateneo head coach Louie Alas suspended one game over infractions

MANILA, Philippines — Ateneo de Manila University head coach Louie Alas has been handed a one-game suspension following the accumulation of three infractions during the UAAP Season 89 Collegiate Men’s Basketball Tournament. Alas will sit out the Blue Eagles' upcoming matchup against the Far Eastern University Tamaraws on Saturday, October 10, at the SMART Araneta Coliseum. According to the UAAP Commissioner’s Office, two of the infractions stemmed from Ateneo’s heated rivalry game against De La Salle University on Wednesday. At the 3:42 mark of the fourth quarter, assistant coach Kerby Raymundo was seen verbally taunting La Salle’s Vhoris Marasigan from the bench. Consequently, Coach Alas was assessed a bench technical foul. At the same mark in the fourth quarter, a video review by the Commissioner’s Office revealed physical misconduct by Alas involving opposing players. The head coach forcefully attempted to pull a DLSU player to his feet and subsequently nudged another opposing player with his elbow. Although the sequence went uncalled by on-court game officials, post-game review deemed the conduct a disqualifying foul under UAAP House Rules and FIBA regulations. Alas’ first recorded infraction occurred on September 19 against the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, where a technical foul assessed to Raymundo for improper bench decorum was charged to Alas as head coach. Ateneo de Manila University retains the right to appeal the suspension before Saturday’s contest. TMT

FEU sweeps SSC-R, takes solo lead in SSL Unity Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Far Eastern University barely broke a sweat to claim its second straight win at the expense of San Sebastian College-Recoletos, 25-14, 25-16, 25-21, in the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup on Friday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.  Lovely Lopez scored nine of her 13 points in the third set, punching in crucial hits to help the Lady Tamaraws repel the Lady Stags’ desperate fightback as FEU took the solo top spot in Pool C. “Pinag-igihan lang naming yung serve-pass namin, yun ang wino-workout namin. And yung kung papaano kami mag-spike, kung paano namin lalagyan ng option yung spike na gagawin namin,” said Lopez, who had 11 kills, one ace and one kill block while adding three digs. Mitzi Panangin and Alyzza Devosora added six markers each while Kyle Pendon chipped in five markers in the Lady Tamaraws’ 75-minute domination of SSC-R in the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea. FEU took advantage of the Lady Stags’ 23 errors, including a service fault to end the showdown, and outgunned SSC-R, 41-24, in attacks. The Lady Stags showed signs of resistance in the third set, threatening the Lady Tamaraws with repeated rallies. FEU saw its 12-5 lead trimmed to just three, 12-9, after SSC-R scored four straight points aided by Lopez’s three consecutive errors. Lopez stopped the Lady Tamaraws’ bleeding with a down the line kill. Audrey Santos, daughter of FEU basketball legend Arwin Santos, pushed the Lady Tamaraws at match point, 24-19. The Lady Stags saved two match points before committing a miscue from the service line. SSC-R failed to replicate its come-from-behind five-set win over Emilio Aguinaldo College in the opener to slide at second spot with a 1-1 card in the tournament, supported by Smart, PusoP.com DICT, Executive Optical, Milo and Summit Natural Drinking Water. Juna Gonzales had 13 points on 12 attacks and one ace to pace the Lady Stags but had little help with Liana Fabella contributing only six markers. Action in the competition, which has Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners, continues on Saturday with five-peat-seeking National University taking on Arellano University at 1 p.m. University of Santo Tomas battles Mapua University at 3 p.m. while clashing in the 5 p.m. final match of the triple-header playdate are University of the Philippines and Adamson University. All games are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports. TMT
