CBA unstoppable, ENG’G still zero in women football By Allen Gabriel M. Iñigo
The College of Busi-
ness and Accountancy
is going on pretty strong
wiping out every team
blocking their way but
the opposite goes for
the College of Engineer-
ing as they got wiped
out by both the College
of Nursing and the Col-
lege of Arts and Science
respectively in Day 3 of
the women’s football
tournament.
The yellow bright
CBA was striving on
the first half of its game
against the Artians but
regained hold on the
game as they clobbered
CAS, 1-0, for them to
slate another victory.
CAS team captain
Shanleigh Jalea faltered
and got injured in the
middle of the second
half of the match that
pulled her out of the
rest of the game.
CBA didn’t stop from
their previous game
against the CAS and
still showed superiority
against EDUC, 2-1, to
add another step to their
stairs to championship.
“We are confident
that we’re going to make
it to the top. Most of
the players in our team
are graduating and I’m
pretty sure that they’ll
be giving their best since
this is their last to play
for the team,” CBA
team captain Patricia
Paula Alonso said.
The ENG’G team
could not seem to
stand up to its ‘Orange
Warrior’ title as it got
crushed by Nursing
on its first game for
today, 2-0.
BSN’s been driving the
game from the very start
and a little confusion
from the orange team
during the first half gave
way to BSN’s first goal.
The Red Phoenix, not
satisfied with its cur-
rent score, gave its final
effort during the last
minute of the game to
click the score board to
a 2-0 finish.
ENG’G, not fully
recovered from the pre-
vious game, has received
another zero during
their game against CAS
which pulled a myste-
rious one point finish
today.
Despite the little injury
from the previous game,
CAS team captain Jalea
made a goal from a pen-
alty kick to put them in
the safe zone and eventu-
ally gave way to their win.
