The UE Lady Warriors are dead set on finally getting a win after some close calls in UAAP Season 88.
Moana Vacalares and the UE Lady Warriors will try to end their winless run when they take on the DLSU Lady Archers in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, October 29, at 7 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
The Lady Warriors (0-8) are still searching for their first victory of the season and hope to finally break through against the Lady Archers coming off a setback.
Despite the struggles, UE has shown flashes of competitiveness throughout the season, with Vacalares emerging as a steady presence for head coach Ian Valdez.
She tallied nine points, three rebounds, one assist, and three steals in their recent loss to Adamson and will once again be looked upon to anchor UE’s offense and defense.
The Lady Archers (3-5), meanwhile, are determined to keep their Final Four hopes alive after seeing their three-game winning streak snapped in their last outing.
Kyla Go paced La Salle with 17 points but shot just 5-of-16 from the field — a performance she hopes to improve upon in this pivotal matchup.
With both teams eyeing redemption, expect UE to come out hungry and La Salle to be wary of a Lady Warriors squad desperate to end its drought.
