University of the Philippines is one win away from a first round sweep of the UAAP Season 86 women's basketball tournament.
The Fighting Maroons escaped with a 65-61 triumph over the De La Salle Lady Archers on Wednesday at the Adamson University Gym.
UP needed to dig deep against La Salle, as the Lady Archers had a slim 50-49 lead entering the final period. "Confident po ako nun kasi open shot. Nagkaroon ako ng kumpyansa nun dahil sa teammates ko," said Pesquera, a sophomore guard.
