SECOND seed De La Salle University staved off third-ranked University of Santo Tomas , 74-69, in a rubber match Sunday to set a championship series date with six-time defending champion National University in University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 85 women’s basketball action at the Mall of Asia Arena.
“I’d like to give credit to UST, they played one hell of a series against us but we were the better team this time around,” said De La Salle coach Cholo Villanueva, whose squad lost Game 1, 57-68, last Wednesday. But that was last UST last stand as Pangilinan, Tacky Tacatac and Eka Soriano missed crucial field goals and free throw attempts, while Kreecie Binaohan gave the lead back to De La Salle with two free throws with 31.2 seconds remaining.
Tacatac missed another triple, Soriano grabbed the offensive rebound and was fouled but flunked both her charities—the the second she intentionally missed hoping for the Tigresses to grab the rebound.
