The league resumes following the Asian Games break where some of the players will return to their club teams.
Led by Hali Long, Inna Palacios, and Camille Rodriguez, Kaya topped the eliminations with 22 points on seven wins, one draw, and one defeat, leading Far Eastern University and Manila Digger FC on the strength of a superior goal difference of +36.
Shelah Cadag also helped Kaya’s cause by scoring 10 goals.
“As we progressed, the team developed stamina, good chemistry, and we were able to improve our play,” said Kaya head coach Let Dimzon. “We will execute and clean up our play, stay focused on the task, and put up a good fight against DLSU. The team is ready and will deliver quality football action.”
La Salle is no stranger to championships though as the Lady Booters are eyeing a fourth straight league title, and will lean on Filipinas Asiad campaigner Alisha Del Campo and Angelica Teves up front. The two have scored a combined 14 goals this season.
Kaya beat La Salle, 2-1, in their eliminations match.
