NCAA begins Saturday

THE 85th season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) chess team championships unfurls this Saturday at the SM Manila in Manila.

Immediately after the opening ceremonies, the team pairings (both senior and junior is the same), Mapua Institute Technology plays Emilio Aguinaldo College, Colegio San Juan de Letran versus Arellano University, San Sebastian College Recoletos goes up against Jose Rizal University and San Beda College will test the mettle of University Perpetual Help Dalta System to cap a busy Saturday for the country’s oldest collegiate league.
