MANILA -- National University displayed its poise in the second half to avert an upset against Ateneo de Manila University, 84-74, in the UAAP Season 86 women's basketball tournament on Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum.
"We challenged her to play at par with two big guys of Ateneo," said a pleased NU head coach Aris Dimaunahan. "Ateneo's bigs averaged double-doubles before our game so our challenge for her was to be our big guy right there. She did a great job of standing her feet against those two big guys." Cayabyab led the Lady Bulldogs with 18 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Berbarabe, a one-and-done guard, contributed 11 points, five rebounds, five steals, and two assists while Gypsy Canuto scored 11 points.
