Archers hold off Tigresses in women's basketball

De La Salle fended off a late comeback attempt from University of Santo Tomas and hacked out 67-60 win to open its second-round campaign in the UAAP Season 85 women’s basketball tournament Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. 

Joehanna Arciga spearheaded the charge for La Salle with an all-around effort of 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals. Lee Sario had 11 points while Fina Niantcho Tchuido added nine markers on top of 16 boards.

The Lady Archers averted a likely meltdown late in the fourth quarter with a 9-2 run to seal their sixth win against two losses for the third spot.

Trimming a 16-point deficit down to one with 2:22 left in the contest, Rocel Dionisio came through for the Growling Tigresses with a huge and-1 play to make it 58-59. 

However, in the final seconds, Niantcho Tchuido’s heroics proved to be the key to seal the victory for La Salle and avenged their first-round 71-57 loss to UST. 

“We need to bounce back from our first-round loss,” said Lady Archers coach Cholo Villanueva. “We corrected our mistakes. We needed to really want it this time around to get that win from UST. UST is the number two team so you need to play a near-perfect game to beat them.”

For UST’s part, Dionioso paced the Tigresses with 17 points apart from 11 rebounds as they fell into an identical 6-2 slate and settled behind National University Lady Bulldogs on top.

In the next play, Ateneo extended its winning streak to four games after escaping Adamson in a tight 76-72 win. 

Down by eight with 43.5 ticks left, Victoria Adeshina, Cris Padilla and Rose Ann Dampios pulled the Falcons within two, 72-74. 

The Blue Eagles, who couldn’t convert in the next rally, heaved a sigh of relief when Adamson’s Adeshina missed a game-tying jumper with 10 seconds to go before Jhazmin Joson iced the match from the foul line for Ateneo. 

Rookie Kacey Dela Rosa, who missed two games due to an illness, had another impressive double-double performance for Ateneo with 23 points on top of 23 rebounds and two extra blocks as they seized a 5-3 win-loss card in the fourth spot. 

Adeshina, on the other hand, also finished with a double-double outing of her own with 27 markers to go along with 14 boards in the losing cause as Adamson absorbed a 2-6 record.
