Reigning UAAP women's basketball champions La Salle opened their title defense with a 56-50 victory over the UST Tigresses on the first day of action at the Blue Eagle Gym last Sunday.
Trisha Piatos made five triples on her way to 23 points to lead the Lady Archers, who return most of the players from the title-winning group.
Kim Reyes led the Tigresses with fourteen points and six rebounds, while Lore Rivera had a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds.
DLSU used an 18-9 run in the third period to overcome a one-point halftime deficit into an eight-point lead heading into the final canto, where they withstood a charge from UST in the final minutes.
Last season's runners-up National University aims to be one step better this time around, opening their season with a 62-46 victory over Adamson.
Afril Bernardino led the Lady Bulldogs with 18 points and eight rebounds, while Risa Paig and Andrea Tongco each contributing nine markers.
Jingky Balasta had 14 points for the Lady Falcons, who could only muster eight points in the third quarter, allowing NU to pull away.
Former champions Far Eastern University, whose quest for a three-peat was derailed by a controversy involving one of its players participating in an unsanctioned league, beat the University of the East, 52-37.
Bucking the absence of Season 76 MVP Camille Sambile due to graduation, the Lady Tamaraws overwhelmed the Amazons, particularly in the 3rd period, doubling up their opponents, 20-10.
April Siat scored 15 points for the win, while grabbing eight rebounds. Jacqueline Tanaman and Claire Castro each contributed eight markers. UE were led by Chery Joy Ano-os and Eunique Chan, who each netted twelve apiece, while combining for eighteen rebounds and three steals.
The other game saw Ateneo match its winning total from last season, securing a 54-42 triumph over the University of the Philippines.
Danica Jose delivered an 18-point, eight-rebound peformance to give her coach Erika Dy her first win as their new head coach.
The next set of women's basketball matches will be played again at the Blue Eagle Gym on Saturday, July 19. This was after the games scheduled on July 16 were postponed as a result of weather conditions brought about by Typhoon Glenda.
