The University of Bohol (UB) Flying Lemurs emerged victorious during the Tagbilaran City Athletic Meet 2019 after defeating Manga National High School (MNHS) and Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School (DCPNHS) Cyclones in the women softball matches at the Holy Name University Oval last September 25-28, 2019.
The Lemurs' first game was against Manga High, where the Lemurs annihilated the Manga High softbelles by the score of 13-0. In their second game, the Lemurs clobbered the DCPNHS Cyclones with a 4-0 victory. Thus, they barged into the finals with an undefeated 2-0 record.
