After 12 long years, the UP Fighting Maroons were finally able to get a win past the eight-peat-seeking NU Lady Bulldogs, holding on, 72-69, in their first round UAAP Season 86 clash at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion on Sunday.
Flaunting their blue chip recruit Louna Ozar and foreign student athlete Favour Onoh, the Maroons handed the Lady Bulldogs only their second loss in the last eight UAAP seasons.

She was also an efficient 4-of-6 on the field.
Karl Pingol and Camille Clarin paced the Lady Bulldogs in the losing effort with 15 and 12 points, respectively.Earlier, Ateneo tallied its second win of the season, defeating Adamson 69-59.UAAP Season 85 Rookie of the Year Kacey Dela Rosa did the heavy lifting as she finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, four steals and three blocks.
