The UST Growling Tigresses look to score a repeat win over the NU Lady Bulldogs, and by doing so defending their UAAP women's basketball title.
The UST Growling Tigresses aim to complete their championship defense against the NU Lady Bulldogs in the deciding Game 3 of the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball Finals Sunday.
UST forced the do-or-die game by handing NU its first loss of the season, a 78-68 Game 2 triumph.
The Tigresses surged in the fourth quarter with a 30-19 blitz to shatter NU’s 15-game winning streak and a chance for another perfect season.
Brigette Santos led the charge with 27 points, showcasing her experience and composure. Rookie Karylle Serbia also delivered a breakout performance, drilling 18 points, including an impressive 4-of-5 from beyond the arc.
The Tigresses are one win away from back-to-back championships, but they’ll need another inspired performance to slow down an NU squad determined to reclaim the title.
Tip off will be at 1:00 p.m. from the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
