MANILA, Philippines — Lady Macbeth Riots ruled the first Uratex Philippine Women’s 3x3 International Invitational, exacting sweet vengeance on Army Altama with a 21-11 victory in the finals over the weekend at the Robinsons Magnolia in Quezon City.

Ateneo pride and UAAP Rookie of the Year Kacey dela Rosa led the way for Lady Macbeth en route to a Finals MVP citation in the Uratex-backed tilt.

Dela Rosa, who torched the UAAP with monstrous averages of 16.4 points, 14.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks, got ample contribution from Gilas Pilipinas veterans Janine Pontejos, Khate Castillo and Trina Guytingco.

Lady Macbeth had a flat start, trailing 3-6, before Dela Rosa and company stamped their class in a searing 18-5 turnaround punctuated by her game-winning freebie.
