UAAP Season 76 finalists remained unbeaten after dispatching their respective opponents in the latest UAAP Season 77 women's basketball matches at the Blue Eagle Gym on Sunday.
The defending UAAP champions took care of things against the University of the East for their fourth straight win, 64-56, while the losing finalists won their third straight by taking out Ateneo, 59-50.
After a slow start where they trailed by five points with over six minutes remaining in the first quarter, La Salle rode on Inna Corcuera to set forth a 15-3 run to take control of the game by the second quarter. They would then uncork an 11-0 run in a span of under three minutes midway in the third quarter to put away the Lady Warriors. Nicole Garcia scored eight of those eleven markers, eventually finishing with a team-high fourteen, as well as eight rebounds and two assists to send UE to their second loss in three games.
Meanwhile, the Lady Bulldogs stifled the Lady Eagles in the second quarter, limiting them to just five points to give them a 36-22 halftime lead as they cruised towards the win. The ladies of Erika Dy struggled, committing ten turnovers in said quarter, sending them to back-to-back defeats after winning their first two games.
Shelly Gupitan led NU with fifteen points and eight rebounds, while Claire Aseron led Ateneo with eleven points and two assists.
NU will have the chance to be on level terms with La Salle on Wednesday morning, as the UAAP revealed that their postponed match with UE will take place at that time in the Mall of Asia Arena. Tip-off is expected to be at 10am. Their match had been deferred previously because of a slippery floor at the Blue Eagle Gym.
The other two games on Sunday saw Far Eastern University and Adamson join the Lady Eagles at 2-2 with respective victories over UST (57-56) and UP (57-44).
The Tigressess of coach Chris Cantonjos held a lead as large as eight points in the first half, but the Lady Tamaraws managed to crawl back, going on a 13-2 run to retake the lead in the 3rd quarter. What happened afterwards is a nip-and-tuck game, with no team holding a lead as large as six points.
Angel Arellano score the game-winning basket with over two minutes left, off an assist from Loraine Ventura. UST would have chances to take the win, but Maica Cortes, Jen Angeles, and Lore Rivera all missed their attempts in the final 107 seconds of the game.
Arellano would finish with a game-high 23 points FEU, while Rivera led UST with a double-double performance, netting seventeen and twelve in over 28 minutes of action.
The Soaring Lady Falcons relied on a strong defensive start, limiting UP to just two points in the opening quarter on 1/12 shooting. Although the Lady Maroons managed to fight back in the second and third quarters, the final quarter was all about Jingky Balasta.
Playing virtually all but 40 seconds of the final ten minutes, Balasta netted eighteen points in the period, outscoring the entire UP team by three points. She did so by making all six of her free throws and going 4/6 from beyond the arc.
The defeats send the Tigresses and the Lady Maroons form the basement of the league as of the moment with an 1-3 and 0-4 record respectively.
