The UAAP wrapped up a phenomenal volleyball season last Saturday (May 18) with the Ateneo Lady Eagles reclaiming the Women's Volleyball championship after a masterful performance against a determined UST Golden Tigresses in the Game 3 of their Finals series. 

 

Once again, the match was the most talked about in the country on social media, particularly on Twitter, with words related to UAAP Volleyball taking all the top 20 spots in the trending topics list for the Philippines.

 

The hashtag #LiveTheDreamAteneo secured the number one rank during and even after the match, with over 200,000 mentions as the Ateneo Faithful cheer on their squad to notch the school's first title in the post-Alyssa Valdez era. Coming in second was #UAAP81VolleyballFinals, which was used by netizens as they shared their thoughts on the game online, and had over 50,000 mentions.

 

UAAP Season 81 MVP Sisi Rondina of UST and Ateneo's sensational middle blocker Maddie Madayag drew the most mentions among players as both their first names and last names trended on Twitter.

UAAP Volleyball also dominated the trending topics on Twitter during games 1 and 2 on May 11 and May 15.
