Outside of the Ateneo Lady Jins upset of the UST Lady Jins, the Lady Jins from Katipunan won only a total of 1 match, Irene Bermejo’s win over DLSU’s Alyssa Bonifacio. The ADMU Lady Jins gave a good fight in each of their match against the Lady Tamaraws but were outclassed in the end, losing all 7 matches.
The finweight bout saw Bermejo and FEU’s Ronielette Balancio go the distance and enter sudden death. It was Balancio, however, who would connect with a body kick midway through the golden round to win the match. UAAP Season 76 flyweight silver medalist FEU’s Geena Gadit won in impressive fashion in a dominant 14-4 victory over Noleen Lagnada. Cindy Balmes continued the FEU storm with a 16-8 win over last year’s flyweight silver medalist Weedee Valenzuela. Ateneo Team Captain, Kyla Relucio, gave FEU jin Virhannah Glindo all she could handle. The match would eventually be tied 4-all after 2 rounds to extend into the golden round. It was Glindo who would connect on the first successful kick to give the series to FEU. Sarah Tej Gill would continue the FEU trend with a 16-6 win over Frances Siapno. A scary moment occurred in the welterweight match between Clouie Bolinas and Chesca Landayan. Bolinas connected on her 4 headkick of the match to give her a 15-3 lead over Landayan. The kick, however, accidentally hit Landayan on the left side of her eye. The referee stopped the contest since Landayan looked dazed and held on to the right side of her face. Eventually, the medics stepped in, and with Coach Jobet Mendoza, brought Chesca Landayan to the back.
