The FEU Lady Tamaraws hope to brush off an opening-match loss against NU as they face off against La Salle in UAAP Season 88 women's basketball action.
Yvette Villanueva and the FEU Lady Tamaraws aim to bounce back when they meet the DLSU Lady Archers in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
Tip off is set for 12:00 noon at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
The Lady Tamaraws opened their campaign with an 89-64 loss to defending champion NU but found a bright spot in Villanueva, who tallied 15 points and seven rebounds.
She will once again be tasked to lead FEU’s push for a breakthrough victory early in the season.
DLSU, meanwhile, suffered its own struggles in a 49-point defeat to UST.
Tricia Mendoza scored 15 points in the loss and will anchor the Lady Archers as they try to avoid falling to 0-2.
Both teams are desperate to notch their first win after missing the Final Four last season, setting up a crucial early-season test of resilience between FEU and La Salle.
