UAAP Media.</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA -- The National University (NU) Lady Bulldogs didn&#x27;t quite check off every item on their list on Saturday, even after claiming a comfortable 100-66 triumph over the Adamson Lady Falcons.NU improved to 5-0 in UAAP Season 85 after the big win, but head coach Aris Dimaunahan acknowledged afterward that at least one aspect of their game plan went unfulfilled. &quot;It&#x27;s always hard to play against a Dindy Medina,&quot; said Dimaunahan, referring to Adamson&#x27;s scoring ace who entered the game averaging 22.25 points per game.&quot;Talagang grabe ang scoring prowess niya. I thought kailangan namin siya ma-limit or ma-stop today, but I thought we failed to do so,&quot; the coach added.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/10/15/22/uaap-cayabyab-stars-in-nus-rout-of-adamson">READ: Cayabyab stars in NU&#x27;s rout of Adamson</a></li></ul>Medina carried Adamson&#x27;s offense, finishing with 28 points on nine-of-17 shooting from the field. She also had five rebounds and three steals, though NU hounded her into committing eight turnovers. The guard was a minus-34 for the game.Dimaunahan, who watched Medina in the UAAP Season 84 3x3 tournament in July, had nothing but praise for the Adamson star&#x27;s skill.&quot;Talagang magaling &#x27;yung bata. Actually, I even invited her sa Gilas training after ng 3x3,&quot; the NU coach revealed. &quot;I talked to her and invited her to come over and practice with us pero hindi nangyari.&quot;&quot;Again, sobrang may respeto ako sa batang &#x27;yun, magaling, magaling na player. I wish her luck sa UAAP career niya,&quot; he added.The NU players also expressed their respect for Medina as an opponent, with rookie Kristine Cayabyab acknowledging that her best effort on defense fell short against the Adamson guard.&quot;Actually chinallenge din ako ni Coach Aris na kailangan ma-stop siya ng eight points. Pero &#x27;yun nga, sabi ni Coach Aris, grabe din &#x27;yung respeto niya sa player na &#x27;yun,&quot; said Cayabyab, who scored 19 points of her own.&quot;So, para sa akin, ginawa ko din &#x27;yung best ko pero sobrang galing din talaga niya. So parang, ano talaga &#x27;yun sa kanya, puri &#x27;yun para sa kanya,&quot; she added.Karl Ann Pingol was not surprised to see Medina make an immediate impact for Adamson in her first season in the 5-on-5 tournament. Pingol played against Medina in the 3x3 tournament last July, and saw even then the potential of the guard.&quot;Ang galing talaga niya, may shooting kahit naka-challenge, nakukuha niya pa rin i-shoot &#x27;yung bola. So parang, &#x27;wag i-underestimate &#x27;yung kahit sinong kalaban. Tapos ano, respect lang din,&quot; Pingol said.Though impressed with Medina, Dimaunahan also stressed that credit must go to his players for weathering the storm and coming away with a big win. The Lady Bulldogs stretched their historic winning streak to 101 games with Saturday&#x27;s result.&quot;We scored 100 points, that&#x27;s a feat again for us na naka-score kami ng ganoon. Total team effort,&quot; the coach saaid.<div>UAAP Season 85 is streaming on iWantTFC every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, available for Premium users outside the Philippines. </div>
