With another overwhelming defensive display, the DLSZ Junior Lady Archers cruised past sister school, La Salle College Antipolo. The final score was surprisingly lopsided: 75-31. Topscoring again was junior point guard Kat Nunez. Benches were emptied in the fourth quarter.
It was a sweep for Group B teams as St. Jude upset defending champion and Group A leader Miriam College in the other semifinal. The first game of the best-of-three finals is set either October 1 or October 2. DLSZ had previously beaten St. Jude in their very first game of the season by a very slim 2-point margin. In that game, rust and first-game jitters showed on both sides and the Alabang girls were playing without 5’-11” center Jamie Roxas, who was coming off rehab for a knee injury. It should be a very interesting series as both teams have gelled and improved considerably as the season has progressed.
