Clarin delivered the numbers and the hustle to power NU past the defending champion UST Growling Tigresses, 76-70, in the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, November 6, at the Mall of Asia Arena. The Lady Bulldogs’ sweep of the Tigresses also boosted their hopes of reclaiming the crown, a year after UST halted the dynastic NU’s seven consecutive title runs in three hard-fought games in the finale.
“Not necessarily to score, but just to lead the team, to keep us level-headed the whole game. I take that responsibility very highly,” Clarin added. Even if NU loses any of its last three games, the team already secured a Final Four spot, along with a twice-to-beat advantage. But the Lady Bulldogs fired back with a game-sealing 13-0 run to take a 70-59 advantage and never looked back. “I think I mentioned this before, that what I’m happy about CC is the fact that she has become a two-way player,” NU head coach Aris Dimaunahan said. “She’s not the CC before, a catch-and-shoot threes .”
