Ateneo and La Salle finally barged into the win column by downing their respective rivals in the 2nd Dickies-FCBL Women’s Cup recently at Philippine Buddhacare Academy gym in Quezon City.

Drawing stellar performance from Danica Jose, the Lady Eagles downed Lyceum, 59-58, for their first win in three games in the annual tournament presented by Dickies.
