SPORTS || UCAAB ind'l events || Stallions shine in badminton, table tennis

by Christian Cordero with reports from Joven Moster

The battle-tested Stallions displayed unmatched prowess in the individual sporting events of the first-ever Universities and Colleges Athletic Association of Bataan (UCAAB) season, as they ruled the badminton and table tennis categories, held at the Balanga Badminton Center and Bataan Youth Center, respectively,  February 21-25, 2011.
Stallion smashers piled up six golds and a silver in the badminton event.
 The entertaining tandem of Wilson Salazar and Francis Gallardo reaped a gold medal finish in the men’s doubles, while the Jo-Belle Galang - Judy Ann Lacsina duo duplicated the same result in the women’s doubles.
Meanwhile, in the singles’ category Maria Josephina Nuñez and Lester Gromet finished with gold laces apiece with Paulo Perez settling at the silver.
In table tennis, the Stallions ran away with five gold and two silver medals.
Macrin Torres bested fellow Stallion Rena Rose Pilenio as they secured the gold and silver places in the women’s singles. However, Ric Ryan Macabuhay fell short against Microcity’s Oliver Campos in the final match to settle for silver in the men’s singles.
But Macabuhay redeemed himself as he paired with Antonio Villazor to lock the top spot in the men’s doubles, while Honey Grace Galit and Frencie Lou Libarnes sealed their campaign with gold laces apiece in the women’s doubles.
