Ateneo women's coach LA Mumar sees his Blue Eagles' gutsy overtime win as an encouraging sign for them.
MANILA -- Ateneo de Manila University women's basketball head coach LA Mumar sees his Blue Eagles' gutsy overtime win as an encouraging sign for them to become an even more mature unit as the season progresses.
The seesaw battle had the Lady Archers leading by as much as 10 points early on, before their rivals took control in the fourth quarter.Fortunately, graduating player and Gilas Pilipinas Women mainstay Jhazmin Joson took charge in overtime for the blue and white with two crucial triples. Mumar credited Joson for her take-charge mantra in her final year, given Ateneo's young roster who banks on her for leadership.
"What I'm really grateful for is that the girls did not fold. They were really trying to fight back and we wanted to win," Joson said. "We made a lot of mistakes but we just let that go and played along."
