MANILA, Philippines — Defending champion University of Santo Tomas remained optimistic despite a heartbreaking loss to National University in Game 1 of the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball Finals on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
UST blew a golden opportunity to get a headstart in the best-of-three series after losing a 14-point lead in the third quarter to fall to NU, 72-71, on a layup by Cielo Pagdulagan with 50 seconds remaining.
“Nothing to be ashamed of. Breaks of the game, yung last play namin was really made for Tacky. It was a good shot. Unfortunately, nag-miss kami. It’s a good miss,” said UST coach Haydee Ong.

MANILA, Philippines — National University overcame a double-digit deficit to escape defending champion University of Santo Tomas, 72-71, in Game 1 of the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball Finals on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Cielo Pagdulagan made the game-winning layup with 50 seconds left capping the Lady Bulldogs’ comeback from 14 down in the third quarter.
“We know for a fact that it’s a short series. The mindset of our team was very important to get Game 1. We should not look at the results right away, let the results take care of itself. Our mindset was to play the game possession by possession,” said NU coach Aris Dimaunahan, whose squad goes for the title clincher in Game 2 on Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena.

UAAP Finals: Past is past for La Salle, UP as title duel begins

None of the previous results between La Salle and University of the Philippines (UP) matter when Game 1 of the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament gets going.
Even two-time MVP Kevin Quiambao of the Green Archers knows that. All that matters is who will come in more prepared for Sunday’s clash at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“I think, coming to this finals, right now it’s back to 0-0,” Quiambao said as La Salle renews its rivalry against the Fighting Maroons that started last season. “No matter what the history of our past games in round one and two, this is a new game.”
UST Tigresses enter UAAP Finals, but not with excessive exultation
University of Santo Tomas worked its way towards getting the shot to defend its UAAP women’s basketball crown.
But there were no big on-court celebrations, just a team huddle after the final buzzer and a gingerly walk back to the dugout after the school hymn. That’s because the Growling Tigresses know what’s ahead of them.
Santo Tomas stopped Adamson dead on its tracks at the close of the stepladder semifinals on Wednesday at Smart Araneta Coliseum and will be squaring off against a familiar foe in National University (NU) for the Season 87 championship with both finalists eyeing a sort of redemption.
