ALLANA Lim defeated Snow Peñaranda, 20-17, on Saturday in the main event of the 1v1 games of the National Basketball League-Women’s National Basketball League-Isolation Basketball Championship (NBL-WNBL-IBC) at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in San Fernando, Pampanga.

Hindi lang ako yung sobrang nabigyan ng opportunity. Pati yung mga young ones natin, ngayon may career na sa women’s basketball.”
