Kagman’s Anna Ada and Patsy Jetley scored four points apiece in the opening 10 minutes, helping the Lady Ayuyus build an 8-4 lead.
The Lady Geckos battled back in the second quarter and held the Lady Ayuyus to just one basket in that period. Jeanna Bracken, Zoe Jewell, and Amber Roberts teamed up on offense for SIS in the second frame to put their team ahead at halftime, 18-12.
Kagman regrouped defensively after the break and turned the table on SIS in the third quarter, containing its rival to one field goal to force a deadlock, 20-all. On offense, the Lady Ayuyus shared the ball in the third period to recover and keep their hopes alive for their first win.
In the fourth and final canto, Kagman stuck to its defense-oriented game plan, stuffing SIS again to just two points at crunch time.
Ada and Jetley finished with 10 points apiece in the game, while Jewell managed 11 on the short end.
