The streak is now twenty-one.

National University extended its winning run in UAAP women's basketball on Wednesday, surviving a pesky University of the East, 66-63 in the opening match of the quadruple-header at the Blue Eagle Gym.

Down by twenty with over eight minutes left in the final quarter, the Lady Warriors rode on Cherry Ano-os, Eunique Chan, and Glozelle Bale to cut that lead to as low as one point, which happened twice in the final minute.

After a Shelley Gupilan free throw with 19 seconds remaining made it 65-63 for the defending champions, Bale missed a lead-changing three-pointer with eleven seconds to go.

UE fouled Jack Animam, who split her charities for the final score of the game.

Reigning MVP Afril Bernardino led NU with thirteen points, eleven rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals, while her fellow national team stalwart Gupilan added twelve markers.

Ano-os and Chan each had 17 points to lead UE.

Chasing the defending champions are both La Salle and UST, both of which eked out close wins to secure their respective fourth wins this season.

The Lady Archers squeaked past Ateneo, 44-43, behind their effective perimeter sniping, particularly from Ana Castillo.

In contrast, the Tigresses rode on a 13-3 run to close out the final five minutes of their 70-67 win over Adamson. Kickstarting the run against the Lady Falcons were Jhenn Angeles and Maica Cortes, with the latter's bucket with 70 seconds left giving the lead back to UST for good, 69-67.

Capping the action in Loyola Heights is Bert Flores' first win as the head coach of FEU with a 46-38 defeat of UP, in a battle of the league's two cellar-dwellers. Precious Arellado's all-around performance of fifteen points, seven rebounds, and five assists led the charge for the Lady Tamaraws over the Lady Maroons.
