Parañaque inched closer to an eliminations sweep after ousting Taguig, 63-49, in the Pia Cayetano WNBL Season 2021 at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center in San Fernando, Pampanga, Saturday.

Allana Lim continued to act as the rock that held the Lady Aces together with 24 points, 14 rebounds, and three assists.

The undefeated squad outscored the Lady Generals in the third, 15-8. Then they put the finishing touches in the ensuing frame.
