      NU turned it up in the second half and held FEU to just 20 points, including a six-point output in the fourth quarter thanks to its suffocating defense.

      Camille Clarin also collected five points, five assists, five steals, and three rebounds as she gave the Lady Bulldogs their biggest lead at 27 points, 65-38.

      "The challenge tonight was to finish the first round strong, and the right way. I thought we struggled offensively at the start of the game, we couldn't find our rhythm early on," lamented coach Aris Dimaunahan.

      Princess Jumuad led the Lady Tamaraws with 14 points and four rebounds, as Camille Taguiam had nine points, four assists, and three boards but shot a woeful 2-of-18 from the field.
