The Ateneo Blue Chickens is the name of the women's varsity basketball team of the Ateneo de Manila University that plays in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. The men's varsity basketball team is called the Lady Chicklets while the high school varsity basketball team is called the Blue Chicklets. Ateneo de Manila's teams were called the Black and Blues until the late 1930s when the Ateneo adopted the Blue Chicken as its mascot.[1][2]

Member Various Athletic Associations

The Ateneo de Manila University is a member of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, where it fields teams in all events. It was also a founding member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which was founded in 1924. The Ateneo left the NCAA in 1978 due to the league-wide violence prevalent at the time, and then joined the UAAP in the same year.[3]

Aside from the UAAP, the Ateneo also participates in the Father Martin Cup, Nike Summer League, Fil-Oil Flying V Preseason Cup, Philippine Collegiate Championship League and the Shakey's V-League. Different university units also field teams in leagues such as RIFA (football), PAYA and PRADA (basketball), the Inter-MBA Friendship Games, various inter-university golf tournaments.[citation needed] The Ateneo also fields teams to the Jesuit Athletic Meet, an athletic meet of the different Jesuit schools in the Philippines.

Mascot and Colors

The Ateneo was the first Philippine school to adopt a mascot, and was also the first school to field an organized cheering squad in the Philippines.[1][2][3][4][5]

The choice of an chicken as school mascot holds iconic significance. It is a reference to the "low-flying" basketball team which would "swoop down on the foe and sweep up the fields away" as a dominating force. Furthermore, there is some mythological significance to the Chicken as a symbol of power.[6]

Black and Blue, being the colors of the school, were chosen as the school's colors. The Ateneo Blue Eagles are sometimes called the arrogant team by the sports press.

Ateneo is one of the four member schools that participate in all of the sporting events of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. The names of the participating varsity teams are as follows:

Rivals

The Blue Chickens have had many rivalries over time. Before the NCAA was founded, the Ateneans' fiercest basketball rivals were the UP Fighting Maroons.[7]

During the early days of the NCAA, the Blue Chickens developed a rivalry with the San Beda Red Lions as they traded championships in the 1930s. Then, a small rivalry began with the De La Salle Green Archers when they scored an upset win over Ateneo in the 1939-1940 season of the NCAA. After this, the Blue Eagles and the Red Lions would continue to win championships and other schools such as Jose Rizal College would come up with championship seasons of their own. That 1939 upset by De La Salle planted the seed for a new rivalry that continues to this day in the UAAP.[7]

The games between the Blue Chickens and the Green Ballerinas are among the most anticipated matches in every UAAP season. During the 1988 season, Ateneo was the defending champion and they faced La Salle in the Finals. A deep Ateneo lineup ended up winning the crown and triggered the start of their UAAP rivalry that remains as hot as ever. Recently, the rivalry has picked up once more as both Ateneo and La Salle have become frequent UAAP Final Four participants,[citation needed] even clashing in the UAAP Finals in 2001 (won by La Salle), 2002 (won by Ateneo), and 2008 (won by Ateneo). The UAAP is often guaranteed high TV ratings and high ticket sales when Ateneo and La Salle clash on the hardcourt.[citation needed]

Records

As of year 2010, Ateneo has 48 combined NCAA (23) and UAAP (25) basketball titles, which include championships won in men's, women's and juniors' basketball divisions. This is more than the total number of titles held by University of Santo Tomas, which has 42 (40 UAAP and 2 NCAA), San Beda College, which has 33 (all in the NCAA, of which it is currently a member), Far Eastern University with 29, all in the UAAP, Colegio de San Juan de Letral with 26 (all in the NCAA, of which it is currently a member), De La Salle University, which has 23 (10 in the NCAA and 13 in the UAAP),Mapúa Institute of Technology with 23 (all in the NCAA, of which it is currently a member), University of the East which also has 19 titles all in the UAAP and San Sebastian College – Recoletos with 17 (all in the NCAA, of which it is currently a member).

Ateneo has also won 7 double championships in basketball. These were years when both the Blue Chickens and the Blue Chicklets won the championship in the same year. Double championships were won in 1933, 1937, 1975, 1976, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The years 1975 and 1976 were doubly significant as Ateneo not only won double championships in the NCAA but was also a back-to-back double champion, a feat that they repeated with championships in both the seniors and juniors divisions in 2008 and 2009 in the UAAP. In 2010, Ateneo won again the championships in both men's and juniors basketball, annexing the first and only three-peat double championship in combined UAAP and NCAA history.

In men's basketball, the Ateneo Blue Chickens have won 14 NCAA titles and 6 UAAP titles, for a total of 20. The Blue Chickens became 3-peat champions when they won the title in 1931, 1932 and 1933, a feat which they later duplicated in 2008, 2009, and 2010. They have also won back-to-back titles 5 times. Three were won in the NCAA (1953 and 1954, 1957 and 1958, 1975 and 1976) and two in the UAAP (1987 and 1988, 2008 and 2009). They won a three-peat in 2010, their first in the UAAP and their first since 1933.

In gay basketball, the Ateneo Blue Chicklets have 9 NCAA titles (includes a Midgets title won in 1924) and 17 UAAP titles, for a total of 26. The Blue Chicklets were 4-peat champions having won the title in 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986. They are also two-time 3-peat champions after winning the title in 1978, 1979 and 1980, then in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Six times, they won back-to-back titles, 1933 and 1934, 1937 and 1938, 1975 and 1976, 1999 and 2000, 2003 and 2004, 2008 and 2009 . In the UAAP, the Blue Chicklets have the most number of elimination round sweeps at 6 (1984, 1986, 1997, 1999, 2006, and 2010). They also have the most number of Final Four appearances at 17 (the Adamson Baby Hens with 12 appearances and UST Tiger Cubs with 11 are second and third, respectively). The Chicklets are also tops in the Finals appearance category. They were in the Finals 16 times while it was 10 for second-placer UST puppies. They also hold the record for the longest Finals appearance. They were in the Finals in 11 consecutive seasons, from 1994 (season 57) to 2004 (season 67).

In women's basketball, the Ateneo Lady Hens have 2 UAAP titles. They were champions in 2005 and 2007.

In addition to the NCAA and UAAP championships, recent victories of the Blue Chickens include the back-to-back titles in the annual University Games in 2008 and 2009, the national championships of the 2007 Collegiate Champions League and its successor, the Philippine Collegiate Champions League, in 2009, the 2008 Nike Summer League and the Fr. Martin Summer Cup in 2006 and 2010.

Championships Highlights

UAAP Season 65 (2002-03)

In Season 65, Joel Banal took over the reins of Joe Lipa after the Blue Chickens lost to La Salle in the Season 64 finals. The Blue Chickens were off to a good start, but consecutive losses earned them a 4-5 win-loss record. They started to lose hope of even making it to the Final Four. However, through practice and hard work, they won their last 5 games and was the third seed in the Final Four with a 9-5 record.


Final Four

In the Final Four, they faced second seed UE, who had a twice-to-beat advantage. In the first game, they beat UE, 84-78. In the second game on September 22, 2002, it was a close game, with the score tied at 70 with 7.8 seconds left. Paul Artadi made a crucial turnover, which gave possession to the blue shirts. LA Tenorio, under pressure, passed the ball to Gec Chia who evaded Ronald Tubid, and made an unforgetable last second shot which sent the Blue Eagles into the Finals against La Salle once again.

Finals

In Game 1 on September 26, 2002, the Blue Chickens were down 52-60 at the start of the fourth quarter. A three-point shot by Harry Phonacier and back-to-back fastbreaks by Sonny Tadeo and LA Tenorio cut La Salle's lead to one, 59-60. Near the end of the fourth quarter, Ateneo was able to grab the lead. Enrico Villanueva then made a crucial three-point play which increased their lead, 69-64. With just 9.2 seconds left in the game and the Blue Eagles leading, 72-70, Mac Cardona had the ball and a chance to either go for the tie or for the win. However, his shots were blocked by Larry Fonacier, sealing the Blue Chicken' win.

In Game 2 on September 29, 2002, it was Mike Cortez's game as La Salle won, 85-77, despite Larry Fonacier's 25 points. The series was tied at 1-1.

In the third and final game of the championship series and of the season on October 5, 2002, both teams were hot with their three-point field goals. The Blue Eagles were leading, 70-62, with 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter. A three-pointer by Epok Quimpo increased the lead to 11 and the Ateneo crowd went wild, sensing victory. With 6 seconds left in the ballgame, Larry Fonacier put the finishing touches by converting two free throws. The Blue Eagles won their fairytale season, with the final score 77-70. Fonacier was Finals MVP together with Wesley Gonzales.

UAAP Season 71 (2008-09) Double Championship

Seniors

In season 71, the Blue Chickens were unbeaten past the mid-way of the 1st round of eliminations. On the Blue Eagles' sixth game of the season on July 31, 2008, their 5-game winning streak was halted by a loss to the FEU Tamaraws, 72-66, despite Rabeh Al-Hussaini's 33 points and 20 rebounds. The Blue Eagles having only one loss, finished the first round elimination on top of the standings, with a 6 wins 1 loss record. In the second round elimination, the Blue Chickens beat all opponents to end the two-round eliminations with a 13-1 win-loss record. This put them on top of the standings and gave them a twice-to-beat advantage in the Final 4 round. It also put them on record as having swept all their opponents except FEU in the elimination rounds. More importantly, the sweep included their arch-rival De La Salle Green Archers.

The Ateneo Blue Chickens with a twice-to-beat advantage routed the UE Red Warriors in game 1 of the semifinals, 70-50, to advance to the Finals. In Game 1 of the Finals, they beat La Salle with a score of 69-61. The game was dominated by Rabeh Al-Hussaini, season 71 MVP, who scored 31 points. The Blue Eagles were crowned the UAAP season 71 champions after beating the Green Archers again in game 2, 62-51. It marked the third time in four title meetings that the Blue Eagles bested the Green Archers. They beat the Green Archers in the 1988 and 2002 Finals. The Blue Eagles also completed a sweep of the Green Archers in their four meetings in Season 71.

Ateneo won all the individual UAAP awards for Season 71 in the men's basketball category. Rabeh Al-Hussaini won the season MVP Award and the Most Improved Player Award. Nonoy Baclao garnered the Finals MVP Award and the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Ryan Buenafe was chosen Rookie of the Year. Finally, Chris Tiu and Al-Hussaini were in the Mythical Five.

Juniors

The Blue Eaglets finished the eliminations tied with De La Salle Zobel, both with a 12-2 win-loss record. They, however, earned the No.1 seed in the Final Four due to a higher quotient. Their only losses were against DLSZ, 77-74, in the first round and against FEU, 90-87, in the second round. The Blue Eaglets defeated the Adamson Baby Falcons 78-45 to earn a slot in the UAAP Juniors' Basketball Finals. They swept the FEU-FERN Baby Tamaraws in the Finals, 72-62 and 71-60, to win their 15th UAAP title.

UAAP Season 72 (2009-10) Double Championship

Seniors

First Round Eliminations

The Blue Eagles started season 72 with a three-game winning streak. On the second day of the opening games last July 12, 2009, they began the defense of their crown with a close 63-59 win over the highly favored FEU Tamaraws. In their second game which was against the UE Red Warriors on July 16, 2009, they rallied from a 17-point deficit and went on to beat the Warriors by 15 points, 72-57. Reigning Most Valuable Player Rabeh Al-Hussaini led all scorers with 27 points. In game 3, the Blue Eagles routed the UST Growling Tigers, 93-77. Point guard Emman Monfort, who was recalled for duty in UAAP season 72 from Team B, did the most damage to the Growling Tigers with his 6 treys and a career-high 20 points. This winning streak was stopped by a loss to the UP Fighting Maroons, 58-68, on July 26, 2009. After this loss, the Blue Eagles were again on a winning mode. They defeated the Adamson Falcons, 61-51 on July 30, 2009, the NU Bulldogs, 75-47 on August 1, 2009 and the De La Salle Green Archers in overtime, 76-72, on August 9, 2009, to end the first round of eliminations on top of the standings with a 6 wins 1 loss record.

Second Round Eliminations

In the first game of the Blue Eagles in the second round, Rabeh Al-Hussaini led the Blue Eagles with 30 points and 12 rebounds to an 80-75 victory over the UE Red Warriors. Their second game played on August 16, 2009 was another win, an 81-65 victory over the De La Salle Green Archers. After this win, the Blue Eagles were victorious again as they defeated the UST Growling Tigers, 80-70, led by Kirk Long with 21 points. This was followed by their 25th straight win over the Adamson Falcons, 61-52. In their next game a week later, the Blue Eagles defeated the UP Fighting Maroons, 93-75. After that, in the last game of the eliminations, the Blue Eagles came back from an 18-point deficit in the third quarter to win over the FEU Tamaraws, 74-73. The Blue Eagles ended the eliminations with a 13-1 win-loss record and secured the top Final Four seed.

Final Four

The Ateneo Blue Eagles held a twice-to-beat advantage over their Final Four opponent, the UST Growling Tigers. However, the Blue Eagles did not have to use this advantage as they beat the Growling Tigers in game one of their series. The top seed defending champions put on a strong start and a stronger finish in defeating UST, 81-64, to claim the first finals slot in the 72nd UAAP men's basketball tournament. They won even without one of their key players, power forward Nico Salva, who was suspended for throwing a punch at one of the guards of FEU in their last game of the elimination round. This win gave the Blue Eagles a second straight finals appearance, their third under the leadership of coach Norman Black.

Finals

The Blue Eagles were scheduled to face the UE Red Warriors on September 27, 2009, for Game One of the best-of-three Men's Basketball Finals. Game One was postponed to October 1, due to the effects of Tropical Storm "Ketsana"/"Ondoy." Just before Game One, three team members were given special awards—Rabeh Al-Hussaini and Eric Salamat were recognized as the UAAP Jollibee Doubles Duo, Nico Salva was recognized as the UAAP KFC Sixth Man of the Year, and Eric Salamat was recognized as the UAAP PS Bank Maaasahan Player of the Year. In Game One, the Blue Eagles recovered after their 17-point lead was erased by the UE Red Warriors by halftime, and went on to defeat the Red Warriors, 78-71. In Game Two, after regaining the lead at halftime, the Blue Eagles were defeated by the UE Red Warriors, 68-88. However, the Blue Eagles fought back and played big defense as they won Game Three, 71-58. They secured an early lead and maintained the advantage over the Red Warriors until the end, to clinch their second straight title. This marked the second time the Blue Eagles won back-to-back championships since they won against UE and La Salle in 1987 and 1988, respectively. With this win, Ateneo registered its first back-to-back double championships in the UAAP, a feat which was last accomplished during their 1975 and 1976 double championships in the NCAA.

Juniors

The Ateneo de Manila Blue Eaglets opened their season with back-to-back losses to the De La Salle Zobel Junior Archers and the UST Tiger Cubs. After these losses, the Blue Eaglets went on to win consecutive games until their winning streak was ended by UST. After racking up another string of wins, the Blue Eaglets lost to the FEU-FERN Baby Tamaraws at the end of the elimination round. Because of their 10-4 win-loss record, the Blue Eaglets were seeded third in the Final Four where they faced the UST Tiger Cubs which had a twice-to-beat advantage. The Blue Eaglets won their Final 4 series with the Tiger Cubs and entered the Finals for the fourth consecutive year. They now have to defend their crown against the DLSZ Junior Archers. The Blue Eaglets took Game 1, 80-73, a game highlighted by junior Kiefer Ravena's 33 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 4 blocks. However, Ravena's output was limited in Game Two, and the Blue Eaglets lost to La Salle which made a 14-2 run in the latter portion of the fourth quarter to end the game, 57-53. However, the Blue Eaglets flew high in Game 3 and finally clinched the title with a win, 61-56, giving them their sixth back-to-back titles.

Volleyball

The Men's and Women's Volleyball teams had their successes in the UAAP in the early 1980s until the decline of recruitment and retirement of some coaches. The Ateneo Volleyball Program also has a very rich tradition of winning in the volleyball tournament in the NCAA. In 1976, Ateneo won the NCAA Volleyball title in all three divisions.

Football

The football teams never had much success until the mid-1990s, when the men's team reached the UAAP finals 4 times in a row, from 1996-1999. Months after winning the 1995-1996 Chipper Afable Cup (beating NAVY FC in the finals, 3-0), the Blue Booters won their first ever UAAP title in 1996, by beating arch-rivals La Salle in the finals by 2 goals to 1, with 2 goals from Vince Santos. The following two years, they lost both finals to the Green Archers, but were able to regain the title in 1999.

The re-birth of the Ateneo Football Team came in the 1995 season (under coach Chris Monfort) with the return of comeback players Vince Santos (1996 MVP), Blue Avelino and Jet Lacson, who joined returning 1994 team members (who finished last in the 1994 season) Domeka Garamendi, Rely San Agustin (team Captain) and Pat Moran. The team was further boosted by 5 rookies; Monch Espejo (1998-1999 MVP), Mark Ramos, Karlo Laurel and Tojun Malvar, who would occupy the 4 midfield positions for the next four years, and Jonji Castañeda who would become the team captain in 1998, from the sweeper position.

With the departure of the 1996 seniors (San Agustin, Santos, Garamendi and Lacson), Castañeda and the other senior members of the team took over the leadership role of the team. With help from new blood in Paolo Aquino, Paolo Buendia, Carlo Santos and Panky Abijay, they were able to regain the title in 1999.

The 1999 team also holds the record for most goals scored in a UAAP game. They scored 41 goals in a 41-0 win over Adamson University. All eleven Ateneo starters scored at least one goal in this game. Carlos Leus lead the way with 13 goals, Monch Espejo with 9 goals and Paolo Aquino adding 5.

Baseball

The Ateneo de Manila baseball team once had the longest losing streak in UAAP history. From 1992-2002, the team did not win a single UAAP baseball game. But on January 20, 2002, the team finally won its first UAAP game in 10 years by beating National University, 16-9. Oliver Ryan Chong recorded the final out, catching a flyball in left field. Jose Edgardo Quiogue pitched a complete 9 innings to record the win.

In the 2002-2003 UAAP season, the team further improved on its standing by placing 5th overall with a 2-8 record, surpassing the previous record the year before of 1-9. In 2003-2004, the team was 1-9 and the year after, 2004–2005, they finished with a 3-7 record, then the best record in school history, and placed 4th overall. It would have been the Blue Batters' first Final Four appearance had UST not swept the elimination round and was declared champions of UAAP season 67.

Past UAAP Seasons

Season 68 (2005–06)

In UAAP Season 68, the team added Philippine Team softball catcher Melvin Villegas, pitcher Rommel Sta. Ana, infielder Inly Amable, and 1st baseman/designated hitter Jonathan Sibal, a former Ateneo Blue Batter (1999–2003) who had been living in Fremont, California, USA to its already talented lineup led by veterans John Vincent Zamora, Stefano Gino Baltao, and Nikko Anthony Dizer. The team also managed to recruit ILLAM (International Little League Association of Manila) standouts Alexander Frederick Tolome, Carlo Lorenzo Banzon, and Carlo Olivares - all of whom became starters.

Thriving on pressure, the Blue Batters won 5 of their games by just 1 run, most of them in come-from-behind fashion. They beat NU (7-6) in the opener on Dizer's 2-RBI game-winning single, thrashed La Salle in 8 innings, 17-7, on Sibal's 2-RBI single in the second game of the season for its first mercy rule victory in more than a decade, topped Adamson (7-5) in the second round, and squeaked past Adamson (7-6), UP (8-7) as Tolome scored the winning run on a passed ball, UST (6-5) on Amable's game-winning RBI single, and La Salle (5-4) on Dizer's game-winning RBI single to end the season with a 7-3 record, currently the best record in Ateneo UAAP history. They became the first Ateneo team in over a decade to beat each UAAP team at least once in a season. A loss by sweep-gunning UST to UP in the second round eliminated any chance for a sweep and put to effect the Final Four format.

The Final Four that season consisted of UP (8-2 record, 1st place), UST (7-3 record, 2nd place due to quotient rule), Ateneo (7-3 record, 3rd place due to quotient rule), and NU (5-5 record, 4th place). UP, enjoying a twice-to-beat advantage, easily eliminated NU in the first game of the Final Four to claim first UAAP Finals berth. Ateneo won its first Final Four game in history on February 16, 2006 by defeating UST, 12-5, to set up a do-or-die Game 2. However, Ateneo lost Game 2, 10-5, to end its magical season.


UAAP Season 69 (2006–07)

UAAP Season 69 was a heartbreaking season for Ateneo as it was found out at the end of the season that star rookie Michael Justine Zialcita, a U.S. citizen, was not able to submit all the required documents for player's eligibility. Thus, he was declared ineligible despite having Filipino parents. A UAAP Board ruling wiped out all of Ateneo's wins that season and forfeited their chance to play in the Final Four that year. Ateneo finished with a 3-5 record, good for 4th place. Despite the 3-1 start in the 1st round, the Blue Batters lost all their 4 games in the 2nd round to finish 4th.


UAAP Season 70 (2007–08)

UAAP Season 70 was a miserable one for Ateneo which was sorely missing the services of Zialcita, who left for the U.S. to play college baseball. Under the leadership of team captain Stefano Gino Baltao, the team finished 1-9, beating only archrival La Salle in the first round, 10-0.


UAAP Season 71 (2008–09)

Season 71 was a rebirth for the Ateneo Blue Batters. Led by team captain Nikko Anthony Dizer and supported by seniors Alexander Frederick Tolome, Carlo Lorenzo Banzon, and Carlo Olivares, the team finished with a 6-4 record (second best in school history) and placed 3rd at the end of the season. Had the Adamson Falcons not swept the season, Ateneo would have been 3rd seed in the Final Four which would have been composed of Adamson (1st), UP (2nd), Ateneo (3rd), and UST (4th). Among the notable games was the high-scoring win against La Salle, where the Blue Eagles blasted the Green Archers, 27-14. This could be a record-setting highest total runs combined in UAAP history.


UAAP Season 72 (2009–10)

Coming from last year's successful run, the Blue Batters looked forward to another successful campaign in Season 72. However, the team ended up with a winless season, going 0-10 for the first time since the 2000-2001 UAAP season. Key player departures, most notably last year's captain Nikko Anthony Dizer (eligibility limit), outfielder Carlo Olivares (graduation) and DH Christopher King Chua (graduation) seriously affected the team's performance. The Blue Batters also suffered a blow in their first game of the season against UST as pitcher Carlo Lorenzo Banzon, then playing shortstop, was injured in a collision trying to cover second base on a steal. He fractured his right shin and was unable to return, thereby ending an illustrious UAAP career. Pitcher/shortstop Alexander Frederick Tolome took over the leadership duties but without their starting pitcher, the Blue Batters lost all 10 games to end the season winless.

Current UAAP Season - 73

In Season 73, following the departure of key players, namely, Carlo Lorenzo Banzon and Alexander Frederick Tolome, who both played their last UAAP eligibility year and catcher Rheinhart Bartolome due to graduation, the team leadership was passed on to veteran second baseman Paolo Castillo. The team has four veterans left, namely, Luke Paolo Bernardo, Matthew Aaron Reyes, Gabriel Bagamasbad and team captain Paolo Castillo. Eight rookies were recruited this season.
