The 15-0 NU Lady Bulldogs go for a season sweep of UST to regain the UAAP women's basketball championship.
The NU Lady Bulldogs are one win away from reclaiming the UAAP women’s basketball title as they take on the UST Growling Tigresses in Game 2 of the Season 87 Finals Wednesday.
NU took a 1-0 series lead with a dramatic 72-71 come-from-behind victory in Game 1, erasing a 14-point second-half deficit to keep a perfect 15-0 season intact.
The Lady Bulldogs likewise remain undefeated against the defending champions, winning all three of their meetings this season so far.
Karl Pingol powered NU’s offense with 18 points, nine rebounds, and three steals, while Camille Clarin contributed 12 points and delivered a crucial defensive stop in UST’s final possession.
Rookie sensation Cielo Pagdulangan struggled offensively but hit the go-ahead basket in the final minute.
A win would seal NU’s eighth title in nine seasons, capping a flawless redemption after losing last year’s championship to UST.
Tip off will be at 1:30 p.m. from the Mall of Asia Arena.
