Ateneo, FEU secure wins in UAAP women's basketball eliminations

Ateneo and Far Eastern University kept themselves in contention for a postseason spot with their respective victories on Wednesday morning at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The Lady Eagles of Erika Dy defeated the University of the East, 70-56, in the second game of the doubleheader.

A 31-point first quarter was all that Ateneo needed, aided by a stifling defense that held UE to 20% shooting.

Danica Jose, Ther Aseron, Sara Bo-ot, and Franchesca Tantoco each scored ten points in the win, while Jose added a game-high fifteen rebounds and swatted the Lady Warriors five times.

Nicole Mendina and Eunique Chan led UE with fifteen points each, sending them to their eighth loss in ten matches.

The first game of the doubleheader saw Far Eastern University preventing the University of the Philippines from nabbing their first win, 59-54.

Claire Castro's basket with 96 seconds remaining gave the Lady Tamaraws a 56-53 lead, and the Lady Maroons were unable to make a field goal in the dying seconds to make a dent. Castro would finish with twelve points and fourteen rebounds.

Bea Daez finished with a game-high 25 points.
 Ateneo and FEU joined idle Adamson and University of Santo Tomas in a tie for third place with a 5-5 record, trailing pace-setting National University at 10-0 and defending champions La Salle at 8-2.
