Title favorites Far Eastern University and La Salle kicked off their respective campaigns on a positive note, with victories at the opening of the UAAP Season 76 women's basketball tournament at the Blue Eagle Gym on Thursday.
The Lady Tamaraws opened their title defense with a 54-48 victory over Adamson. Camille Sambile secured 25 points and 15 rebounds against the Lady Falcons, who were led by Jinky Ballanta's 16 markers.
The win is FEU's 19th straight, after sweeping the field last season. They are seeking to secure a three-peat, something they were able to do from 1996-98 and last done by DLSU in their four-peat (1999-2002). They won't have the services of key cogs Allana Lim, Karen Columna and Soc Borja, as the trio already completed their playing years.
Meanwhile, La Salle dismissed arch-rivals Ateneo, 54-38. The inaugural champions of the women's division of the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup, the Lady Archers relied on Ara Abaca and Trisha Piatos to dispatch the Lady Eagles. The two combined for 23 points for the triumph.
The remaining matches saw the Lady Bulldogs of National University escaping with a 60-51 win against the University of the Philippines Lady Maroons, while the Tigresses of the University of Santo Tomas relied on Maica Santos' 19 points, 19 rebounds and six blocks to take down the University of the East Amazons.
Women's action is set to resume on Sunday with the following match-ups at the San Juan Arena:
9am - Adamson vs UP / 1030am - UST vs La Salle / 12nn - NU vs FEU / 130pm - Ateneo vs UE
Juniors and Seniors action is set to resume on Saturday at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum. The juniors doubleheader sees Ateneo try to bounce back from their defeat to NU against the UE Pages, while the Junior Archers of La Salle-Zobel seek to maintain their form against the defending UAAP Juniors champions FEU. For the seniors, UST and Adamson are seeking to join FEU on top of the leaderboard, followed by a rematch of the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup final between NU and UE.
