URATEX Dream got off to a rousing start in its PBA Women’s 3×3 Invitational campaign on Monday, winning both its scheduled games in the opener of the revived half-court game at the Ayala Malls Circuit Makati.
Hotshot Kaye Pingol carried most of the load for the team which beat Angelis Resort and Philippine Air Force one after the other.
She had 12 points in Dream’s 20-15 win over Angelis in the opening match of the month-long tournament, and then followed it up with an eighth-point production in a 19-16 victory over Air Force to take the early lead in the standings with a 2-0 record.
But Angelis Resort bounced back big time following a 19-17 overtime upset of Gilas-A in the final game of the day.
Veteran Allana Lim rallied her side from three points down in the final 55 seconds including the pressure-packed deuce that forged the extra period at 17-all.
