Uratex Dream's season got off to a solid start as the Philippine side finished third in the women's division of the Jumpshot 3x3 International Tournament at Bukit Panjang Plaza in Singapore over the weekend.

The quartet of Kaye Pingol, Sam Harada, Mikka Cacho, and Eunique Chan fought tooth and nail in their first stint of the year to secure a podium finish in the 10-team field.

Uratex Dream ended up second in Pool B, recovering from their 21-16 defeat to eventual champion CT Tigers of Thailand to open the campaign before stringing three straight victories to end up with a 3-1 record.

Pingol got things going for her side with a 21-12 rout of Regina of Singapore, before the team picked up the slack and scored a 21-10 blasting of BAS Women B of Singapore and a 19-18 nipping of Malaysia Rising Star.

Unfortunately, Yokohama Gflow of Japan was just too much for the Dream, which succumbed to a 21-14 decision in the semifinals.

On the other hand, Uratex Tibay wound up third in Pool A after their 1-3 card to miss out on a semifinal ticket.

It's a much needed workout for the Uratex teams which are preparing for the Manila Hustle 3x3 Season 2 this February.

Meanwhile, TNT Triple Giga reached the quarterfinals of the men's division before falling to BAS Men B, 19-17, in overtime.
