UAAP Season 72
Please support the final game of the UP Fighting Maroons vs Adamson tomorrow, Saturday at 2pm, Araneta Coliseum. We hope we can surpass our record last year (3-11) with a win versus the Falcons. This game is also dedicated to Mr. Agapito Braganza, I think Arvin will play on this last game.
Then the much awaited UAAP Cheerdance Competition will be held this Sunday, 1pm at the Araneta Coliseum, hope the UP Pep Squad gets to retain their crown and the three-peat.
UP Fight!
