De La Salle University is still in the hunt for a Final 4 spot in the UAAP Season 86 women's basketball tournament.
This, after the Lady Archers pulled away for a 71-61 triumph over the Adamson Lady Falcons, Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum. It was the second straight win for La Salle, which improved to 3-5 in the tournament.
"It's always our identity to start at the defensive end. That's why Trisha started being a two-way player, defending their best player. And then on the other end, making the right decisions offensively. That's why she was able to get the rhythm in the game," the La Salle lifer continued. From that point, La Salle did not allow Adamson to retake the lead. Bea Dalisay, Binaohan, Luisa San Juan, Sario, Mendoza, and Bernice Paraiso iced the game for the Lady Archers with 1:11 remaining in the game by giving their team its biggest lead at 66-55.
"We had a bad start but come the second half, we were able to control our turnovers. We made good decisions, especially in the second half," said Villanueva. "It was all the girls. They were making those decisions on the offense we were doing."
