DLSU cagebelles score; Ateneo, Adamson lead

De la Salle opened defense of its women’s basketball crown on a high note, routing UST, 86-69, but the tournament lead remained with Adamson and Ateneo which went 2-0 at the Adamson gymnasium as hostilities in the UAAP 66th season went to high gear.

The Lady Archers, who drew a bye on opening day, hardly met any stiff resistance from the Lady Tigers, who groped for form in the match and failed to capitalize on their opening victory over FEU two weeks ago.

Adamson, runnerup last year, however, was as lethal and streaked to its second straight win at the expense of FEU, 107-66. Also with 2-0 was Ateneo, which made UE look hapless in a 65-43 beating.

FEU and UE are winless in two games while UP, which drew a bye Sunday, is 0-1.

The July 27 matches which were canceled because of the Oakwood Makati putsch, meanwhile, will be played Aug. 21 also at the Adamson gym. The games pit De La Salle against UE, Ateneo against Adamson and UP against FEU.
