Behind the duo of Tacky Tacatac and Joylyn Pangilinan, University of Santo Tomas made it rain on Far Eastern University, taking an 83-49 win to notch their third straight win in the UAAP Season 85 Women’s Basketball Tournament, Wednesday at Quadricentennial Pavillion.

Tacatac finished with 24 points, six rebounds, and three assists while Pangilinan added 21 points on seven treys.

“Yung gameplan namin nasunod. I’m happy na yung scouting report namin against FEU worked today. Also, Tacky and Joylyn provided the outside shooting for us. Yung role also ng bawat player were done really well,” said Growling Tigresses head coach Haydee Ong as they went up to 5-1 in the standings to remain in second place.

“Sinunod lang namin yung gameplan ni coach kaya naging maganda yung resulta para sa amin,” added Tacatac.
