      "The goal today was to bounce back from a very pangit na defensive game against UST last time out," said head coach Aris Dimaunahan, referring to their close 78-75 win last Oct. 9.

      "The emphasis was on defense, on how well we could defend today. We did better today than in the UST game and parang we want to re-establish our identity, which was the defensive side of the game. Good job on these ladies for playing this side of the ball," he added.

      NU held UP to just 25.8-percent shooting, and forced 26 turnovers, which led to 13 points.

      Acrissa Maw was the top scorer for the Maroons [now 2-2] with 12 points.

      NU (79) - Cacho 15, Solis 9, Fabruada 8, Pingol 6, Villareal 6, Tiky 6, Dimaunahan 6, Canuto 4, Clarin 4, Cayabyab 4, Betanio 3, Bartolo 3, Talas 3, Surada 2, Ico 0, Barroquillo 0.
