MANILA – Two-time UAAP MVP Kacey Dela Rosa is not yet done with her collegiate basketball career.
Despite falling short of defending their women's 3x3 basketball crown, Dela Rosa still powered the Ateneo Lady Eagles to a podium finish in the UAAP Season 88 tournament.
Dela Rosa scored 12 points and 10 rebounds for Ateneo to lift them past the Adamson Lady Falcons in the bronze medal match at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay on Sunday.

After capping off UAAP Season 88 with a medal, Dela Rosa confirmed she will be returning for her final playing year for the blue and white.
"Yeah, I think tatapusin ko yung last playing year ko sa UAAP. Sana makuha namin yung championship," the Gilas Pilipinas Women's team standout told reporters.
When asked what made her stay for one last flight, Dela Rosa cited two reasons.
"I think yung relationship din namin sa loob ng team. Yun parang gusto ko bigay lahat sa Ateneo sa last playing year ko. Gusto ko naman umalis na may gold," she said.
The Lady Eagles finished third in the UAAP 88 5x5 Women's Basketball tournament.
