Two teams from Cavite are set to battle it out, eager to bounce back in the 2025 Women’s Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (WMPBL) Invitational Tournament on Wednesday at Enderun Gym.
The Imus-SIS VBL Lady Magdalo and Cavite-TOL Lady Patriots face off at 6:00 PM in this tournament supported by Manny Pacquiao, Senator Francis Tolentino, and the MPBL Partylist.
The Lady Magdalo are looking to recover from a tough 60-108 loss to Discovery Perlas on January 26, which dropped their record to 1-1.
Led by the trio of Katherine Cantimbuhan, Annie Pamaran, and Nikka Villanueva, Imus-SIS VBL aims to avoid an upset against their winless provincial rivals.
Meanwhile, the Lady Patriots are still searching for their first victory after suffering back-to-back defeats — a narrow 54-51 loss to the New Zealand-Bluefire Valkyries on opening day, followed by a 70-57 setback against the Philippine Navy Lady Sailors on January 26.
Cavite-TOL will rely on La Salle sniper Luisa San Juan to regain her shooting touch and help them break into the win column.
Earlier in the day, New Zealand-Bluefire and Centro Escolar University will open the gameday at 4:00 PM, both hoping to extend their winning streaks.
Meanwhile, Kalos PH and Go for Gold-backed Philippine Navy will aim for their third win in four games when they take on the winless Solar Home squad at 6 p.m.
Games will air live on IBC 13 and stream via the league’s official Facebook page and YouTube channel, in this league supported by Uratex, Discovery Suites, Red Dynasty, Gotobox, Gerry’s Grill, Prettiest, Team Graphitee, Evo Performance Helmets, Ryzen Helmets, Katinko, Dorayd, Sogo Hotel, Global Bosny Manufacturing, and Bavin.
