UAAP: UST tightens hold on 2nd spot after beating FEU in women's basketball

MANILA, Philippines -- University of Santo Tomas racked up its sixth win in a row, but not before having to survive a furious fightback by Far Eastern University in the UAAP Season 82 women's basketball tournament, Sunday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

"This is a very important win," said UST head coach Haydee Ong. "We're games ahead of them now, so we're just happy that we got the win." Fortunately for UST, Tacatac came to their rescue. She drew an unsportsmanlike foul from FEU's Princess Jumuad and calmly sank two free throws, before nailing a lay-up in the bonus possession for a 66-61 advantage with 2:31 remaining.
