De La Salle University finally broke its long drought with a breakthrough win over University of the East, 73-62, in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City Wednesday, Oct. 15.
In the battle of two winless squads, the Lady Archers found ways to shift their gears after a third-quarter assault to seize a sizable 64-43 lead – off Paulina Anastacio’s layup – over the Lady Red Warriors en route to their first-ever win since Season 87 second round last year.
La Salle ended its four-game skid –sixth overall since last November – this edition to improve to 1-4, while UE remained unfortunate in five games to plummet further in the standings.
“For us, it’s a rebuilding year. We lost about seven starters and players in the rotation, so our experience is the best teacher for us,” said La Salle head coach Cholo Villlanueva.
Kyla Go starred for the Taft-based squad with a double-double act off 14 points and 12 rebounds with three steals and two assists, while Kyla Sunga added 11 points.
Rachel Lacayanga tried to lift UE with an all-around output of 21 points, eight steals, six rebounds, and a block, but fell short.
Meanwhile, Rowie Cabañero posted a superb triple-double outing to steer University of Santo Tomas past Far Eastern University-Diliman, 92-82, for its second straight win in the juniors division.
Cabañero uncorked 17 points on top of 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals as the Tigers Cubs hiked their record to 4-2 and tied with the Baby Tamaraws in the standings. 
Dwyne Enriquez shone for FEU-D with 24 points, five rebounds, four steals, and three assists, while Andrei Chavez had 18 points and nine rebounds with one steal which all went down the drain.
Earlier, Zion Aguilar starred as UE demolished La Salle-Zobel, 89-66, to get back on the winning track.
Aguilar displayed his brilliance after listing 23 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists for the Junior Red Warriors, who, with their 4-2 slate, forged a quadruple tie with UST, FEU-D, and Adamson, just behind unblemished National University (6-0).
La Salle, on the other hand, absorbed its six consecutive losses in as many outings.
