NU sweep first round of UAAP women's basketball, extend streak to 23

National University extended its winning streak to 23 games this past weekend, easily dispatching Far Eastern University, 86-43, to highlight the final playdate for the first round in UAAP women's basketball at the Blue Eagle Gym.

The defending champions went on a 22-4 run in the first period and never looked back, leading by as much as 54 points in yielding the largest beatdown so far this season.

Reigning MVP Afril Bernardino led the Lady Bulldogs with a 20-10 performance, while adding four steals and three blocks to her lone assist. Shelley Gupilan and Gemma Miranda combined for twenty points, seven rebounds, eight assists, and two steals.

Yetunde Okunlola's thirteen points and six rebounds led the Lady Tamaraws, who have struggled to a 1-6 record after making the finals last season.

Keeping pace with NU is La Salle, which won its sixth straight game after defeating UST, 67-56.

The Lady Archers pulled away in the fourth quarter to secure the victory, as Ara Abaca and Camille Claro fended off the charge of the Tigresses in the final 4 minutes.

Abaca would finish with a team-high 14 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and two steals, while Claro added 12 points, three rebounds, six assists, and two steals. Ana Castillo contributed 13 markers.

Maica Cortes led UST with thirteen points and twelve rebounds before fouling out with 2:40 left.

The surprising University of the East kept the University of the Philippines winless in the first round with a 56-51 victory, with Ruthlaine Tacula topscoring with eighteen points, two rebounds, two assists, and a steal.

The Lady Maroons coped with Bea Daez's absence with Janeena Tatel's game-high 21 points and 18 rebounds.

Ateneo ended its first round with back-to-back wins, beating Adamson, 49-39.

Danica Jose and Hazelle Yam keyed the Lady Eagles' strong start against the Lady Falcons, then took care of things in the endgame to secure their third win of the season.

The duo combined for 27 points as the only players in double figures for Erika Dy.

Jamie Alcoy led Adamson with eleven markers.
