That game was about improving our chemistry, and you can see that everybody contributed,” said Aguilas head coach Ryan Monteclaro.Fil-Hawaiian forward Alexis Pana, who previously played for European clubs Kibirkstis Vilnius in Lithuania and CS Universitatea Cluj in Romania, recorded a stellar double-double with 19 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and four steals.Melody Cac added 14 points on 50 percent shooting.For San Juan, Rejoice Adlawan was the lone bright spot, finishing with 23 points and eight rebounds as the Lady Knights suffered their first loss after three games.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/basketball/2025/1/31/aguilas-soar-to-victory-in-wmpbl-debut-vs-valkyries-0042">READ: Aguilas soar to victory in WMPBL debut vs Valkyries </a></div>New Zealand-Bluefire also bounced back from a previous defeat with a dominant 71-38 victory over PSP for its second straight win.The win held special significance for the Valkyries as one of their key supporters, Andoy Reyes, celebrated his birthday on the same day.&quot;We came from a tough loss in our last game, but we were eager to bounce back—not just for ourselves, but for the people who support us. Our team owners, Sir Eric Ongkauko and Sir Andoy Reyes, who is also celebrating his birthday today, were our inspiration. They motivated us to return to our winning ways,” said head coach Villanueva, who also leads the De La Salle Lady Archers.Khate Castillo led New Zealand-Bluefire with 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting.Valkyries lead floor general Camille Claro missed the game as she&#x27;s out for a week or two due to a sprained knee.Meanwhile, PSP suffered its third consecutive defeat, with Stifanny Larrosa leading the team with 10 points.<div> </div>The Scores:<br style="color:rgb(36, 36, 36);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial" id="isPasted"/><br style="color:rgb(36, 36, 36);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"/>First Game<br style="color:rgb(36, 36, 36);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"/>Pilipinas Aguilas 78 – Etang 21, Pana 19, Cac 14, Adeshina 5, Guytingco 5, Escotido 5, Ramos 4, Cabinbin 3, Limbago 2, Deacon 0.
