From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UE Lady Red Warriors are the collegiate women's varsity volleyball team of the University of the East. The team competes in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
History
The University of the East has been competing in women's volleyball in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) entering the league as a probationary member in 1952.[1]
It last reached the semifinals of the UAAP volleyball championship in Season 67 in 2007.[2] Their next significant finish was at the 2018 Collegiate Grand Slam Conference of the Philippine Super Liga when they finished third.[3]
In mid-2023 in the lead up to Season 86, the Lady Red Warriors secured a sponsorship deal with Strong Group Athletics (SGA) which covers two seasons.[4][5]
They went on to finish third placers in the 2023 and 2024 V-League Collegiate Challenge.[6][7]
During Season 87, the Lady Red Warriors experienced internal issues. The team was later disbanded on June 9, 2025.[2] The team did not win games with interim coach Allan Mendoza alleging mistreatment from the management which began when they requested funds for their participation in the 2024 Shakey's Super League Pre-season Championship although the crisis only became publicly visible when five core players and coach Obet Vital moved to the UP Fighting Maroons [8] SGA's contract with UE on the sponsorship of the women's volleyball team ended on May 31, 2025 after the conclusion of Season 87.[2][5]
