    THE Ravenas aren't the only siblings who can brag about winning a championship in Ateneo.

    Vince and Kat, have also clinched a UAAP double for the Tolentinos.

    "We're there also. We're grateful. It's a blessing," said Vince, who currently suits up for the Bataan Risers in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).

    Vince was part of the Blue Eagles that won the men's basketball title in 2017 under coach Tab Baldwin.

    And on Saturday, Kat followed suit as the Lady Eagles claimed the UAAP Season 81 women's volleyball championship with a straight-sets win in the series decider over University of Santo Tomas.

    "I'm so proud of her," said Vince. "She finally got one and we both have one now."

      Vince said he also gave his sister some pointers, especially with the stakes this high in Game Three.

      "I told her just to play her game. A lot's on the line, but block out the pressure and win it all," he said.

      Kat eventually led Ateneo with 15 points, 11 coming off spikes as Ateneo won its first title since 2015.

      It was just the perfect ending for Kat, reaching the top after dealing with three ACL injuries.

      And that only puts a smile on Vince's face.

      "After everything she's gone through, this is a blessing for her," he said.
