UAAP: Ateneo win sends Adamson to women’s basketball Final Four
The Ateneo Blue Eagles strengthened their Final 4 aspirations in the UAAP women's basketball tournament with a victory over the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, propelled by a dominant performance from reigning MVP, Angeliki Dela Rosa.
Dela Rosa recorded her 11th double-double of the season with 28 points and 19 rebounds, complemented by five blocks, two assists, and two steals.
This win improved Ateneo's record to 6-5, establishing a significant two-and-a-half-game lead over UP, who now stand at 3-7 with only four games remaining.
The Fighting Maroons' loss also secured a Final 4 berth for the Adamson Lady Falcons, marking their first postseason appearance since the 2019 season.
Ateneo's coach LA Mumar expressed satisfaction with the win but acknowledged the team's need to improve execution and build momentum for the remaining games.
A pivotal 16-3 run in the fourth quarter by Ateneo, after UP briefly took a 48-47 lead, ultimately sealed the victory for the Blue Eagles.
