The Philippine Navy Lady Sailors leaned on the hot hands of Trixie Antiquiera to score a dominant 68-35 victory over the PSP Lady Gymers in the 2025 WMPBL invitational tournament at the New Era University Gym.

The Bacolodnon cager delivered a career-best of 24 points behind a record-setting eight three-pointers — the most in a single game in league history — as the Lady Sailors nailed their third straight win for a 5-1 win-loss slate.

Janelle Mendoza tallied 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists.

Afril Bernardino filled the statsheet anew with 13 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, and eight steals for Navy, who led by as big as 39 points in the win.

On the other hand, the Lady Gymers (0-5), who are now on the brink of elimination, were led by Queenie Aquino and Jeedel Bartolo with eight and seven points, respectively.

The Discovery Perlas dismantled the EZ Jersey Relentless, 88-45, for their third consecutive win.

The Perlas set the tone early, building a commanding 38-17 lead at halftime before extending the gap to as high as 46 points at 86-40 on a three-pointer by Angel Anies with more than three minutes left.

Anies had a total of five three-pointers in the game to end up with a game-high of 18 points along with two steals in 14 minutes of action as the Perlas improved to a 3-1 record.

The Solar Home Suns staved off the Imus-SIS VBL, 57-52, to snap a three-game skid for its first win in the tournament.

Jecel Alba led the way for the Suns, who improved to 1-3, with a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds./ASC, WDJ
