MANILA, Philippines–National University edged defending champion University of Santo Tomas, 76-70, to extend its winning streak to 11 games in the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena.
The Lady Bulldogs moved just three wins away from completing an elimination sweep for the seventh time in nine seasons. They wrap up the eliminations against Adamson, La Salle and FEU.
“Just glad that we pulled through in this one because we had a rough start, but I’m happy of how our players responded even though [UST] jumped at us early,” NU coach Aris Dimaunahan said. “We did not lose that focus we should be having for 40 minutes and part of which, that’s why we came back early because CC got some baskets early on.”

MANILA, Philippines–La Salle snapped a two-game losing streak with a come-from-behind 64-60 victory over Far Eastern University in the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena.
With the win, the Lady Archers kept their slim Final Four hopes alive, improving to a 3-8 record with three games remaining in the elimination round and tying the Lady Tamaraws and the UP Fighting Maroons for fifth to seventh places — a full three games behind fourth-running Ateneo Blue Eagles
Ateneo will take on FEU on Saturday. A win by the Blue Eagles eliminates the Lady Tamaraws, the Lady Archers, and the Fighting Maroons from contention.

Despite a roller-coaster ride so far in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament, University of Santo Tomas is managing to hang on to a spot in the top four—albeit very precariously.
With the Growling Tigers clinging to fourth place after arresting a three-game slide only last week, they know that every game counts from here on.
“All we can say is that we’re aiming for the Final Four. That’s it,” Nic Cabañero said as he tries to again lead the Tigers at 6:30 p.m. at Mall of Asia Arena against the resurgent National University Bulldogs. “Those (three straight) losses became our motivation.”
