The NU Lady Bulldogs go for a bounce-back win against the UP Fighting Maroons in UAAP Season 88 women's basketball aciton.
Defending champion NU Lady Bulldogs look to recover quickly as they battle the unbeaten UP Fighting Maroons in UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball on Saturday, October 4.
The match is set for 7:00 p.m. at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
NU dropped to 1-1 after a tough 76-62 defeat to UST in a Finals rematch, a game where Xyza Pring led the team with 12 points.
Karl Pingol nearly notched a double-double with 10 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and three steals, but no other Lady Bulldog managed to score in double figures.
With Ateneo and UP setting the pace at 2-0, the Lady Bulldogs need a stronger offensive showing to avoid falling further behind in the standings.
Against an in-form UP squad, NU will count on its veterans and trademark defensive pressure to reassert itself in the title race.
