Handout/WMPBL</div>MANILA -- Discovery-Rizal overpowered RK Hoops-Quezon City, 90-54, to punch its ticket to the semifinals of the 2025 Women&#x27;s Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League on Sunday at the Enderun Gym.Third-seeded Perlas was armed with a twice-to-beat advantage but made sure to take care of business immediately against RK Hoops-QC.So dominant was Discovery-Rizal that they barely missed the presence of star guard Raiza Palmera-Dy, who sat out the game due to illness. The pair of Angel Anies and Tantoy Ferrer took charge from deep, draining nine of the team&#x27;s 11 triples to keep the opposition from ever finding its rhythm.Ferrer went 4-of-5 from deep to finish with a game-high 22 points to go along with 10 rebounds and five steals, while Anies, thrust into the starting unit with Palmera-Dy out, delivered her best performance yet with 21 points powered by four treys to go along with eight assists for Perlas.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/basketball/2025/9/29/wmpbl-perlas-crushes-rk-hoops-qc-in-ferrer-s-return-0017">READ: Perlas crushes RK Hoops-QC in Ferrer&#x27;s return</a></div>&quot;Well, that was really what I wanted. I wanted them to be ready to play them [RK Hoops-QC] kasi we&#x27;re still not in [the semis] eh, we still need to win one more game,&quot; said Discovery-Rizal head coach Derrick Pumaren.&quot;Angel [Anies] was hot today. She was really hot today, she was making her shots, she was making plays for us and I think that&#x27;s why we also made that big run because of Angel&#x27;s offense tonight,&quot; he added.Perlas&#x27; best quarter came in the third, where they erupted for 27 points while holding RK Hoops-Quezon City to just six. It was also in that stretch where they built their biggest lead of the game at 48, following a Loraine Capilit triple with 33 seconds left.Camille Sambile also provided a spark for Discovery-Rizal with 14 points and five rebounds, while Loraine Capilit and Lovejoy Candelario chipped in nine and eight points, respectively, in their semis-clinching win in the tournament backed by Uratex, Black Mamba, Red Dynasty, Aktiv Balls, and Pocari Sweat.Allana Lim, who continues to battle an illness, still managed to contribute seven points, four rebounds, and two assists in nearly 14 minutes of action.Perlas will be going up against the top-ranked New Zealand Bluefire-Batangas in the semifinals on Sunday, 4 p.m. at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.On the other hand, RK Hoops-QC saw its campaign come to an end, bowing out of the tournament with its tenth consecutive defeat.Bernalyn Aragon paced the team with 11 points, while the trio of Kristina Dela Cruz, Nel Flor, and Maria Cayco had eight points each.<div> </div><div>The Scores:</div>Discovery-Rizal 90 – Ferrer 22, Anies 21, Sambile 14, Capilit 9, Candelario 8, Lim 7, Sison 6, Marcos 2, Galicia 1, Tacatac 0RK Hoops-Quezon City 54 – Aragon 11, Dela Cruz 8, Flor 8, Cayco 8, Molina 7, Docallos 4, Canayong 4, Alcantara 3, Buendia 1, Bacuto 0, Geli 0, Escotido 0Quarterscores: 26-9, 50-28, 77-34, 90-54
