ST. PAUL MOVES ON, TAKES OUT ACADEMY

Warriors advance to the final four

By Jay Leon Guerrero

TOKYO, Japan – The St. Paul Warriors advanced to the final four of the 2023 Kanto Classic Invitatational Basketball Tournament after defeating the Academy Cougars 35-18.

It was tied at halftime after Academy’s Victoria Rapadas converted a steal into a lay-up just before the halftime buzzer to tie the game at 8-8 at halftime.

It was a low scoring first half but the Warriors quickly got things rolling to start the third period with Amaya Mudzimarena and Alure Hernandez getting early baskets.

The Warriors continued to roll in the third quarter and went up by double digits. The Warriors will play the winner of the Kinnick vs Edgren game. If they win that game, they will play for the championship tonight at 7 pm Japan time.

FD vs Humphreys and Okkodo vs YIS updates coming soon.

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins made it to the NCAA Women’s Final Four, before losing to eventual champions UConn.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
