AFTER seven seasons, Centro Escolar University remained on top of the Women’s National Collegiate Athletic Association senior basketball division.
The CEU Lady Scorpions conquered the Philippine Women’s University Patriots, 70-37, at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum over the weekend to rule the 48th season. They carried a twice-to-beat edge after sweeping the four-game elimination round that also automatically sent them to the finals.

DLSZ and Miriam will try to clinch the titles on Nov. 11, also at RMC.
In the best-of-three volleyball finals, DLSZ and San Beda College Alabang similarly moved one win away from repeating as midgets and seniors champions, respectively.
DLSZ outlasted St. Scholatica’s College, 25-23, 19-25, 27-25, and San Beda overcame CEU, 25-23, 26-24, 25-19.
