The Lady Archers, who also swept their opposition in the elimination round with an eight-game winning streak, caught their first title in seven seasons. Despite a slow-start by the two squads, action picked up in the final 45 minutes of the game with La Salle dominating with attacks catalyzed by Kyra Dimaandal’s opening goal. After the restart, top scorer and this year’s Best Striker Dimaandal, gave the Lady Archers their first taste of the lead with a strike in the 56th minute. The win marked the ninth straight triumph of the Lady Archers this season as well as their ninth title in the UAAP. Also, La Salle star Kyla Inquig was named Most Valuable Player while UST’s Mary Joy Indac emerged as Rookie of the Year.
