UAAP: UST, National U in do-or-die for women's championship
National University (NU) is set to play University of Santo Tomas (UST) in a do-or-die Game 3 for the UAAP Season 86 women's basketball championship.
NU forced the decisive game by defeating UST 72-70 in Game 2, preserving their dynasty bid after losing Game 1.
NU star Camille Clarin stated that while Game 3 is unfamiliar territory, fighting for a championship is not, expressing excitement for the opportunity to extend their dynasty.
This marks the first time NU will play a Game 3 in the finals since Season 76 in 2013, when they lost to De La Salle.
Since 2013, NU has dominated the women's basketball tournament, winning seven consecutive titles.
