Still unbeaten at 9–0, UST hopes to maintain its perfect run and become the first team to reach double-digit victories in this women’s basketball season. 

The Growling Tigresses, who have already secured a Final Four spot, are coming off a 95–66 romp over the Adamson Lady Falcons in their most recent match.

Kent Pastrana led the way with a solid double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Karylle Sierba added 13 points on a perfect 6-of-6 shooting clip in the 39-point blowout.
