There is no stopping six-time defending champion National University.
The Lady Bulldogs breached the century mark, extending their record win run to 101 straight after shooting down Adamson University, 100-66, in the University Athletic Association Season 85 women's basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday.
NU displayed another balanced effort on offense as five players finished in double figures led by Tin Cayabyab, who had 19 points, eight rebounds, and three steals.
"Tin Cayabyab has been missing in the past four games. She had a good start and her teammates were giving her good looks to build her confidence," Lady Bulldogs coach Aris Dimaunahan said.
