UE Lady Warriors target an ambitious win over defending champions NU Lady Bulldogs to end their first round campaign in UAAP Season 88.
Moana Vacalares and the UE Lady Warriors aim to avoid a winless first round when they face defending champions NU Lady Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, October 22.
Tip off is 8:00 a.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Still searching for their first win of the season, the Lady Warriors (0-6) are hoping to finally make their mark against the powerhouse Lady Bulldogs to open a two-venue quadruple header.
Vacalares has been a bright spot for UE, tallying 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting in their last outing against FEU.
Head coach Ian Valdez will once again bank on Vacalares’ leadership and scoring touch, alongside the energy of Rachel Lacayanga and Aliyah Ronquillo, to steer the Lady Warriors toward their long-awaited breakthrough.
UE will have its hands full against NU (5-1), which is coming off a gritty win over Ateneo, but the Lady Warriors are determined to finish the first round on a high note.
