The UST Growling Tigresses are one win away from a first round sweep of UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball.
Eka Soriano and the unbeaten UST Growling Tigresses look to complete a first-round sweep when they take on the slumping UP Fighting Maroons in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, October 22.
Tip off is 12 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Growling Tigresses, last season’s runners-up, have been unstoppable so far with a perfect 6-0 record.
Soriano was once again steady in UST’s latest win over Adamson, tallying 13 points, six assists, five steals, and a rebound.
Along with fellow star Kent Pastrana and do-it-all forward Oma Onianwa, the dynamic guard aims to keep UST atop the standings heading into the second round.
As hosts this season, UST is determined to stamp its dominance and build momentum for another championship push after falling short against NU last year.
UP, meanwhile, has lost four straight after a 2-0 start and will need to summon its early-season form to challenge the roaring Tigresses.
