W. basketball recap

Since I haven't posted for a long time, I'll just give an update on the last two games of the Lady Maroons in the first round.

First up, UP vs ADMU (Aug. 15). Unfortunately, we lost by five points, 57-52. Even with Joan Roma and Jaclyn Cruz putting in the big points, the UP team was never able to recover from the Ateneo onslaught. Armed with height advantage, our Katipunan neighbors easily gained the lead and won. Hmph! Watch out na lang sila sa second round.

Next, UP vs AdU (August 22). It's our second straight loss, 56-49. This time, against the defending champions. They're a really tough team to beat. Who will move on to the finals? Only the second round will tell.

At the end of the first round, UP stands with 3 wins and 3 losses to claim the number 3 spot together with DLSU. AdU is at the top with 5 wins and 1 loss, while FEU and ADMU are tied at second place with 4 wins and 2 losses. Number four is UST with 2 wins and 4 losses.
