Ateneo improved to 2-3 in the women&#x27;s basketball tournament. The center made 10 of her 13 field goals and 10 of 17 free throws to anchor Ateneo&#x27;s triumph.

Sandra Villacruz added 12 points and 10 boards for the Blue Eagles.&quot;We had good games, but we were not mature enough yet,&quot; Ateneo coach LA Mumar said of their skid, wherein they were beaten by National University, University of Santo Tomas, and De La Salle University. &quot;It&#x27;s part of the process, it&#x27;s part of the growth, but we&#x27;re very happy that we got another W,&quot; he added.It was a come-from-behind win for the Blue Eagles who trailed 39-35 at the break. Dela Rosa gave them a 43-42 lead with 6:12 left in the third quarter, and the two teams exchanged baskets for the rest of the frame.The Blue Eagles entered the fourth with a 53-50 advantage, and they pushed it to as much as nine points, 64-55, off a Joson jumper with 67 seconds to go. Back-to-back buckets by UP&#x27;s Christie Bariquit trimmed the deficit to five, 64-59. But with only 37.3 seconds left, the Fighting Maroons didn&#x27;t have enough time to complete a comeback. Free throws by dela Rosa and Joson were enough to preserve the win for Ateneo. Kaye Pesquera led UP with 16 points, while Bariquit had a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double. The Fighting Maroons dropped to 2-3 in the competition. Joson&#x27;s triple-double was the first in UAAP women&#x27;s basketball since National University&#x27;s Ria Nabalan had 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 76-56 rout of Far Eastern University on Oct. 18, 2017. <div>The scores: </div>ATENEO 67 -- Dela Rosa 30, Villacruz 12, Joson 11, Calago 6, Miranda 4, Nieves 4, Eufemiano 0, Cruza 0.UP 61 -- Pesquera 16, Bariquit 13, Lozada 9, Tapawan 8, Sanchez 5, Vingno 6, Domingo 2, Maw 2, Jimenez 2, Larrosa 0, Rivera 0, Sauz 0, Gonzales 0.Quarters: 20-22, 35-39, 53-50, 67-61.
