The UAAP announced on Friday that it has meted a one-match suspension to Sarah Makanjoula.
In a statement, the league says,
SARAH MAKANJOULA (#23, Ateneo de Manila University) has been handed a one-game suspension following an unsportsmanlike foul (Criteria 2) committed last Wednesday, October 12, during Ateneo de Manila University’s UAAP Season 88 Collegiate Women’s Basketball game against Far Eastern University.
Makanjoula will serve her suspension on Sunday, October 26, during the Blue Eagles' matchup against the National University Lady Bulldogs at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion Arena.
The suspension resulted from the two unsportsmanlike fouls assessed to her during the game.
At the 5:58 mark of the third quarter, Makanjoula extended her left arm and made contact with the head of FEU player Erica Lopez. Upon review, the action was deemed unnecessary.
Later, at the 8:53 mark of the fourth quarter, after securing a rebound, Makanjoula’s left elbow extended and swung horizontally, making a motion inconsistent with a normal basketball play.
The contact met the criteria for an Unsportsmanlike Foul (Criterion 2).
Please be guided accordingly.
The Blue Eagles will miss their foreign student-athlete, as it tries to solidify its postseason case against one of the two main title contenders this weekend.
