NU Lady Bulldogs dominate Adamson to climb to 3–1 in UAAP 88
Defending champion National University (NU) displayed its trademark dominance once again, defeating Adamson University, 69–51, for its second consecutive victory in the UAAP Season 88 Women’s Basketball Tournament on Wednesday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
Coming off a commanding 95–58 rout of the UP Fighting Maroons last weekend, the Lady Bulldogs carried that same momentum into this matchup, seizing control early and never looking back.
The duo of Karl Ann Pingol and Tin Cayabyab set the tone for NU’s offensive rhythm, combining for efficient scoring that helped the team establish a 43–23 halftime advantage. The Lady Falcons, despite showing spurts of fight, struggled to recover from the early onslaught.

Pingol starred once more with a stellar all-around outing of 17 points (8-of-11 shooting), 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks, while Cayabyab added 13 markers, 6 boards, and 3 assists. Villanueva chipped in 11 points built on three triples, while Betanio and Solis provided seven markers each in the balanced win.
NU now turns its attention to De La Salle University, as the Lady Bulldogs aim for their third straight victory on Sunday, October 12, at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
