The University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigresses have secured the second seed in the UAAP Season 87 women's basketball Final 4 with a 60-47 victory over Adamson University.

This win gives UST an 11-2 record and a twice-to-beat advantage in the semifinals, contingent on National University not achieving a clean sweep of the elimination round.

Despite a shaky offensive performance, UST's defense was a key factor, limiting Adamson to only 47 points.

Adamson managed to rally in the third quarter, closing the gap to five points, but UST responded with a 10-2 run to end the period with a 13-point lead.

Tacky Tacatac led UST in scoring with 13 points, including four three-pointers, while Kent Pastrana contributed 12 points and eight rebounds.

Brigette Santos added 10 points and seven rebounds, and Karylle Sierba had a well-rounded game with seven points, six rebounds, four assists, and four steals.
