UAAP: Joson torches Adamson as Ateneo women bounce back

MANILA -- Veteran guard Jhazmin Joson erupted for a season-high 32 points as the Ateneo Blue Eagles powered past the Adamson Lady Falcons, 69-61, on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The graduating guard had 32 points built on eight three-pointers to go along with five rebounds, five assists, a steal, and a block in 37 minutes and 15 seconds of action. She made her mark in the first half, firing 23 points on seven threes as the Blue Eagles entered the break down by just one possession, 35-38.

"It was really just taking advantage of that defense. I mean if they weren't adjusting so I might as well take advantage," said Joson on her performance. After back-to-back triples by the Lady Falcons to slice their deficit to just three, Dela Rosa and Makanjuola answered with six points to erect a seven-point lead with just 2:11 left. Dela Rosa finished with 17 points, including 11 in the third period, along with 12 rebounds and three blocks, while Makanjuola tallied 10 points and 20 rebounds.
