UP seeking fourth straight win in UAAP women's basketball

Women's basketball resumes later today with a quadruple header of matches at the Blue Eagle Gym, after the UAAP went on a short break to observe the Halloween and All Saints' Day weekend .

These matches were originally scheduled to take place last October 18, but were postponed due to complications from the weather disturbance Lando.

Opening the session are the suddenly red-hot University of the Philippines against the University of Santo Tomas at 9am.

The 3-7 Lady Maroons are seeking to win their fourth straight game this season after losing their previous twenty-five matches. A win against the 5-5 Tigresses would tighten the race for the last two available postseason slots.

Meanwhile, current pacesetters NU and La Salle seek to continue their form against separate opposition.

The Lady Bulldogs go up against Ateneo at 11am, seeking to extend their winning streak to 11 games this season with reigning MVP Afril Bernardino and fellow national team mainstays Shelley Gupilan, Andrea Tongco, and Jack Animam.

Meanwhile, the Lady Archers face Adamson to close out the day at 3pm. Led by the playmaking of Camille Claro and the shooting of Ana Castillo, the gals of Cholo Villanueva will officially secure at least a twice-to-beat advantage in the postseason with a victory over the Lady Falcons.

Completing the quadruple-header is the matchup of neighbors UE and FEU at 1pm.

Their male counterparts also are set to resume action today, this time with a double-header at the SMART-Araneta Coliseum.

UE and UP seek to keep their Final Four hopes alive against separate opposition, as the Red Warriors face UST at 2pm, followed by the Fighting Maroons against Ateneo at 4pm.
