The gist
- La Salle beat Ateneo in overtime in the UAAP.
- The win is La Salle's third straight victory.
- GMA Network reports La Salle now claims solo third place.
Why it matters
For UAAP fans, this win keeps La Salle's streak alive and moves it into sole possession of third place, according to GMA Network. ABS-CBN describes the game as a matchup against its rival Ateneo. Anyone following the standings will want to see how this affects the rest of the season.
La Salle has added another win to its UAAP run, and this one needed extra time. ABS-CBN reports that La Salle outlasted its rival Ateneo in overtime, earning its third straight victory. A game that goes into overtime means the teams were still level when regulation time ran out, so the extra period decided the result.
Inquirer.net frames the story around Tovera as well, saying La Salle and Tovera escaped Ateneo in overtime. The reports we have do not give the final score or walk through how the game unfolded, so those details are not yet known from these sources.
What the standings now show
GMA Network reports that the win lets La Salle claim solo third place. Sole possession of a spot means no other team is sharing it, which makes the position a clear marker for fans tracking the table. Close games like this one can change how a season looks, especially when a team keeps winning after a streak has already started.
Rivalry games also carry extra weight for fans. ABS-CBN calls Ateneo La Salle's rival, and a win over a rival tends to be remembered longer than a routine result. Whether that memory helps La Salle in the games ahead is something only the upcoming matches will show.
What happens next in the league is not yet known from these reports. The remaining games will decide whether La Salle can hold that third spot, and how Ateneo responds after this loss.
So, do you think La Salle can keep the streak going, or will Ateneo bounce back first? Tell us what you think.
Background
The sources describe this as La Salle's third straight victory, which means it had already won its two previous games before this one. The win is also what lets La Salle claim solo third place, according to GMA Network.
