MANILA -- University of Santo Tomas overcame a tough challenge from also-ran Adamson University, 76-70, to maintain its push for a playoff advantage in the UAAP Season 86 Women's Basketball Tournament on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.
"Sinunod lang namin yung sinabi no coach," said Pastrana. "Nanggagaling talaga sa aming mga senior na kailangan namin mag-stick sa system. Hindi natin kaya mag kanya-kanya lahat. Kailangan natin maging buo para sa team at para sa mga coaches." Adamson fought back through Nigerian center Victoria Adeshina and Cheska Apag, who teamed up to cut the Tigresses' lead to just 69-68 with 3:45 to go.
Tantoy Ferrer and Brigette Santos contributed eight points each for UST with the former also seizing 10 rebounds.
