The UST Growling Tigresses are in for an early grudge match against Finals rival NU in their first meeting of UAAP Season 88.
Jaja Pescador and the UST Growling Tigresses are out for revenge when they battle the NU Lady Bulldogs in a UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball Finals rematch on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
The mega showdown is set for 7:00 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
UST, host of this year’s tournament, made a statement in its opening game by demolishing La Salle in a 49-point beatdown.
Pescador set the pace with a performance of 12 points on efficient 5-of-8 shooting with seven assists.
The Tigresses now turn their focus to the defending champions, NU, who beat them in last year’s three-game Finals series.
Kristine Cayabyab is coming off of a 24-point performance and will try to keep the Lady Bulldogs perfect.
With momentum and home support on their side, UST will attempt to flip the script and prove they’re ready for another title run.
