Gusto lang namin magperform and marepresent nang maayos yung school on a big stage.”NUNS started hot, outscoring Ateneo 40-2 in the opening quarter. The Blue Eagles managed just one field goal in the period, courtesy of Cesca Pangilinan at the 8:03 mark.By halftime, the Lady Bullpups had extended their lead to 66-8, forcing 40 turnovers and holding Ateneo to just 4-of-10 shooting.The second half was no different, as NUNS held Ateneo scoreless in the third quarter with a dominant 24-0 run, pushing their lead to an insurmountable 90-8 heading into the final period.Ateneo score only three times in the second half, with Tyler Templo contributing a triple and a layup and Pia Lo adding a floater late in the game.The Lady Bullpups’ inside presence was overwhelming, as they outscored Ateneo 94-4 in the paint. Their defense was equally suffocating, forcing a total of 58 turnovers and racking up 38 steals.Aubrey Laparasan led NUNS with 20 points, five assists, and five rebounds, while Zaydhen Rosano matched her output with 20 points, adding eight steals, three rebounds, and three assists.Haikka Aycardo and Ashlyn Abong each scored 12 points, combining for 14 rebounds and six steals.
