Philippine Collegiate Champions League Sweet 16

The 2009 Philippine Collegiate Champions League Sweet 16 cast is now complete. The De La Salle Green Archers are set to defend their title on this year’s PCCL. The Green Archers are forced to have a little bit of road block heading to PCCL sweet 16 after a disappointing 5th place finish in the UAAP. The defending champs were able to past the Luzon-Metro Manila Zonal after beating some squads that includes NCCA-South Champs Don Bosco Technical College Greyhounds, UCLAA Champion St. Francis of Assisi College System Doves and University of Nueva Caceres to be able to compete in the 2009 Philippine Collegiate Champions League Sweet 16.

This year’s Philippine Collegiate Champions League Sweet 16 will be cast by four UAAP teams that includes UAAP back to back champion Ateneo Blue Eagles, UE Red Warriors, FEU Tamaraws, UST Growling Tigers and De La Salle Green Archers. The NCAA with six teams will cast Season 85 Champs San Sebastian Stags, San Beda Red Lions, JRU Heavy Bombers, Letran Knights, Arellano University Chiefs and Mapua Cardinals. The rest of the teams are University of Visayas Green Lancers, USC Warriors, and UC Webmasters from CESAFI. Lyceum Pirates and San Sebastian Cavite Baycats complete the list.

The Philippine Collegiate Champions League will commence its knock out round this coming November 23, 2009 at Ynares Gym in Pasig City. All the games that will be played will be televised live by ABS-CBN Sports on Studio 23 Channel.
