LA Salle fell short of ending Far Eastern University’s reign with a 0-1 defeat in the UAAP women’s football Final Friday night at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The Lady Tamaraws did not have to wait long to break the deadlock as Jelani Pabuaya cut inside from the left flank in the 10th minute that turned out to be the gold medal match’s lone goal.
The Lady Booters pressed for an equalizer in the second half, with Ushin Joi Valencia, Meagan Alforque, and Bernadeth Florano all getting scoring opportunities, but none managed to find the back of the net.
La Salle’s Elisha Lubiano and Pido received the Best Defender and Best Goalkeeper awards, respectively, after helping the Lady Booters record six clean sheets in their 12-match campaign.
It was the fifth straight set that La Salle, proud owner of 11 titles, secured a silver medal finish.
