UE absorbed an 81-52 beating at the hands of two-time MVP Kacey Dela Rosa and the Ateneo Lady Eagles last time out, which stretched the Lady Warriors' losing skid to 11 games dating back to last season.
It also marked the Lady Warriors’ 11th straight loss to Ateneo since Season 81, giving head coach Ian Valdez a tough UAAP welcome.
Despite the setback, UE showed sparks of promise with Aliyah Ronquillo finishing with 11 points, while Rachel Lacayanga chipped in 10 points and two steals.
The Lady Warriors, though, will need bigger contributions across the roster as they attempt to end their slump and hand UP its first defeat of the season.
