Inday Tolentin scored twice to lift Far Eastern University over University of the Philippines, 3-1, and remain unbeaten in the UAAP Season 87 Collegiate Women’s Basketball Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 26, at the UP Diliman Football Stadium.

Tolentin, who was one of five Lady Tamaraws to join Kaya-Iloilo in its 2024–25 AFC Women's Champions League campaign, put the ball at the back of the net in the 45th and 57th minutes to seal the victory for FEU ahead of its Season 86 final rematch against De La Salle University.

Despite seeing her captain score twice, Coach Let Dimzon said that her protege, who has three goals this season, can still improve as the tournament progresses.

“Actually marami pa sanang goals si Inday eh,” said Dimzon. “Ang kailangan lang talaga ay she needs to focus again. She needs to review yung games pagdating sa mga lapses niya. Kasi from those games, dapat meron siyang five goals eh. Kailangan niya lang talaga mag-focus sa technique kasi nagiging problem niya yung mga techniques pagdating sa delivery of the ball and decision making pag nasa loob siya ng box.”

Regine Rebosura, who was the hero of the Season 85 final against La Salle, opened the scoring for FEU with a 17th-minute tap-in off Tolentin’s assist.

The Fighting Maroons tried to make things interesting as Hannah Marie Muros scored a 36th-minute penalty, which was awarded due to a foul in the Lady Tamaraws box, but UP failed to build on the spot-kick.

FEU and La Salle, both tied with nine points each with the former sealing first place due to a superior goal difference of plus-6 to the latter’s plus-5, will face off on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. to close out the first round.
