The season has not treated Catholic University kindly, leaving them fifth in the local standings amid a string of disappointing results.
News from the campus side points to a tough stretch where victory remains elusive. In the latest visit to Sports Copiapo, the team faced a rival on duty, while a First Division debut in 2023 added pressure as the squad sits in the relegation zone after a recent upsurge that did not translate into points.
In recent weeks, the Strip has not celebrated a win since March 3, going seven games without triumph across nine weeks. Their only bright moment was a painful, yet telling, penalty shootout loss to ANFA’s Colina. If a crisis can be named for a team steeped in history, this is it—the four-time champion is aiming to finish as high as possible in the league, with no international tournaments on the horizon. Their enduring argument centers on the legendary Fernando Zampedri, striving to push beyond the 92 goals he has already scored and to reach a new personal milestone.
