pulled her out of therest of the game.

CBA didnt stop fromtheir previous gameagainst the CAS andstill showed superiorityagainst EDUC, 2-1, toadd another step to theirstairs to championship.

We are confidentthat were going to makeit to the top. Most ofthe players in our teamare graduating and Impretty sure that theyll

be giving their best sincethis is their last to playfor the team, CBAteam captain PatriciaPaula Alonso said.

The ENGG teamcould not seem tostand up to its OrangeWarrior title as it gotcrushed by Nursingon its first game fortoday, 2-0.

The game againstthe EDUC was finishedin a nick of time bythe CBA as they wongame 8 by default.

The EDUC teamnever showed up thisnoon sans any reasonat all which led totheir technical defeat.
