She averaged 22.1 points, 16 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 3.7 blocks per game, leading the league in these departments during the elimination round.

She also leads the Mythical Five, which includes Kent Pastrana (UST), Louna Ozar (UP), Angel Surada (NU), and teammate Sarah Makanjuola.

Cielo Pagdulagan of NU was named Rookie of the Year with 56.571 statistical points.
