October 3 ------ Gilas Women bid their medal hopes goodbye after bowing to powerhouse South Korea, 93-71, in the 19th Asian Games basketball quarterfinals at the Shaoxing Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium in Zhejiang, China.
The Filipina dribblers actually scored the game’s first five points but it didn’t take long for SoKor to take over, eventually booking a return trip to the semis and keeping their aspirations of winning title no. 5 very much alive as well.
Coach Pat Aquino and Co. ended their campaign with back-to-back losses but there’s no denying that it was still a solid run overall for a program that came back to the continental conclave following a 25-year absence.
