National University moved on cusp of reclaiming its title after turning back University of Santo Tomas, 72-71, in Game 1 of their best-of-three finals series in the UAAP Season 87 women’s basketball tournament on Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Like clockwork, the Lady Bulldogs preserved their perfect record from the elimination round for their 15th straight victory this season to inch closer to the crown. Game 2 is set to be played on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Both sides continued to engage in a nip-and-tuck affair in the fourth period that saw the match tied for the last time at 69-all with 2:48 remaining after Pringle Fabruada’s layup that she followed up with a pair of freebies. But it all came down inside the final 50 seconds of the match as Cielo Pagdulagan drilled the go-ahead layup to make it 72-71 for NU.
