Still top dogs: NU extends reign in UAAP women's basketball (Rappler)

The NU Lady Bulldogs bag their seventh straight UAAP women's basketball crown after sweeping the La Salle Lady Archers.

The Red Warriors were co-champions with University of Santo Tomas in Season 30. I’m glad each and every one of us did our share and we won,” said first-year NU head coach Aris Dimaunahan. “The credit goes to all our girls. Joson did it all for the Blue Eagles with 11.21 points, 7.0 assists, 6.79 rebounds, and 1.86 steals, while Tacatac was a scoring machine for the Growling Tigresses norming 15.21 points, 4.86 rebounds, 3.29 assists, and 2.71 steals. “Isa sa hindi ko makakalimutan na nangyari this season is yung natalo kami against La Salle. The Blue Eagles center averaged a dominant line of 16.42 points, 14.08 rebounds, and 3.08 blocks. It was a fitting end to Cacho and Annick Edimo Tiky’s run with the Lady Bulldogs. Soriano tallied all-around averages of 14.36 points, 6.29 rebounds, 7.14 assists, and 3.71 steals in the elimination round, where the season awards are based. And that was all NU needed to break away and deny all the Lady Archers’ attempts to claw back in the game. Rookie Tin Cayabyab was hailed Finals MVP after averaging 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals, and 1.5 assists in the series including 18 points and 5 rebounds in the clincher. Ameng Torres was on fire to start the match with 9 straight points to trail by just 3 early, 9-12, but Lady Bulldogs Tin Cayabyab, Angel Surada, and Mikka Cacho joined hands to stretch their lead to 16 at the end of the first, 27-11. The Lady Bulldogs asserted their dominance over the La Salle Lady Archers, 76-64, in Game 2 to sweep the UAAP Season 85 women’s basketball finals and collect their seventh straight title on Sunday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Maroons clip Blue Eagles to gain early UAAP finals lead (Philstar.com)

Clamping down on defense to force Ateneo to out-of-system shots, the defending champions thus moved one win away from back-to-back titles.

Lucero led UP in the win with 14 points, 11 boards, two assists and two blocks. While the Maroons were unable to pad their lead in the late goings, their defense also denied an Ateneo basket, which helped them hold on for the victory. But Zavier Lucero came out with a huge block on Chris Koon, which gave way for a Harold Alarcon triple on the other end to give UP breathing space anew, 61-56, with 6:39 ticks to go. The Blue Eagles sliced the lead to as small as two, 58-56, off an Ange Kouame triple with 7:24 left in the game. Na-sustain." "Defensively, we started well.
