UAAP badminton stepladder postseason set

Games today at the Rizal Memorial Badminton Hall:

8 am – Ateneo vs UP (men step-ladder playoff)
1 pm – Ateneo vs FEU (women step-ladder playoff)

Badminton kicks off its postseason at the Rizal Memorial Badminton Hall today, with Ateneo's blue shuttlers set to face off against separate opposition in a knockout duel to kick off the step-ladder format.

The men take the court first at 8am against UP, while the women face FEU at 1pm.

In what turned out to be an eventual preview this past weekend, the Blue Eagles outlasted the Maroon Shuttlers, 3-2.

Meanwhile, the Lady Eagles also beat the Lady Tamaraws by the same scoreline in their matchup last September during the eliminations.

The winners would then face La Salle in the semifinals on Saturday, with the Green Shuttlers holding the twice-to-beat advantage after finishing second in the eliminations.

Already waiting in the finals, which is scheduled to take place starting October 14, are defending champions NU (men) and UP (women). Both squads earned their berths after finishing the eliminations with 7-0 sweeps.
