Shelah Cadag opened the scoring in the fourth minute, converting off a cross from Semacio. A minute later, Dai Dolina scored off a long ball before Maegan Alforque added a screamer from just outside the box to take the wind out of Muntinlupa&#x27;s sails.Semacio scored from the spot for a 4-0 lead, and Cadag&#x27;s second half goal completed the scoring.“I am happy for the girls,” said BGC’s coach Shane Cosgrove. “Every week in the 7s, they go hard against each other but in this team, they found a common cause to collectively take home a championship.”“They knew that Muntinlupa had great quality but we stuck to our game plan of stopping their playmakers and it worked for us.”BGC had crushed Palawan, 7-0, in the semifinals, while Rodriguez powered Muntinlupa past Cebu, 5-1. In the battle for third place, Cebu&#x27;s Jolina Colon banked in off a deflection in the 45th minute to seal their win against Palawan.
