It won't fully make up for their Season 76 Finals defeat, but National University avenged last year's loss against La Salle with a dominant 77-55 victory at the Blue Eagle Gym to close out the first round play in women's basketball.
The Lady Bulldogs started off strong, scoring the first seven points of the game, and although the Lady Archers would cut that lead down to one point at 14-13, with 3:21 left off an Inna Concuera putback, NU would break the game open with a 23-3 run and erect a 21-point lead with 4:45 left in the first half. La Salle would never get that lead down to single digits for the rest of the game.
Gemma Miranda finished with twenty points, fourteen rebounds, and two assists for the win, while Afril Bernardino added seventeen and eight boards. Camille Claro led the defending champions with eleven points and three rebounds. Concuera added nine points in under 9 minutes of action.
La Salle had beaten NU in three games last year to secure the crown, with the game this past Sunday being their first elimination round meeting since then.
In a battle to determine who will finish in third place after the first round, the University of Santo Tomas beat Adamson, 59-47.
It was a nip-and-tuck affair between the Tigresses and the Lady Falcons, but after Jingky Balasta converted a three-pointer to give Adamson a 43-41 lead with 8:22 remaining, UST scored eight straight points in a span of almost three minutes, erecting a 49-43 lead. Jolly Ballaso's putback cut the deficit to 49-45 with 5:10 remaining, but UST closed the game out with a 10-2 run to secure their fourth win of the season.
Lore Rivera led all scorers with fourteen points and twenty rebounds, while Maica Cortes contributed eight of her thirteen points in the final period. Balasta would finish with twelve points, nine rebounds and six assists.
Far Eastern University kept the University of the Philippines winless after one round of play, hanging on to a 65-61 result.
Jacqueline Tanaman broke a 61-all tie to give the Lady Tamaraws a 63-61 lead with 82 seconds remaining. The Lady Maroons had their chance tie the game or take the lead, but Patricia Pesquera and Bea Daez missed their shots, with a 24-second violation in between the two possessions.
April Siat capped her fourteen-point performance with two free throws with 22 seconds left for the final score. She would add six rebounds. Claire Castro would also have fourteen points, while adding a game-high eighteen rebounds and four swats. Angel Arellano scored a team-high eighteen points.
Daez led UP with 21 points.
Completing the slate of Sunday matches is Ateneo ending its four-game tumble with a 50-35 win over the University of the East.
The Lady Eagles shut down the Lady Warriors in the second half, limiting them to just thirteen points on five field goals in the final twenty minutes.
Danica Jose's sixteen points, eighteen rebounds, two assists, a steal, and two blocks allowed her to bounce back after a stretch of sub-par results.
Wins from Ateneo and FEU, coupled with Adamson's loss, formed a three-way tie for fourth place with a 3-4 record, with UE one game back at 2-5 for solo seventh.
