Gilas Pilipinas’ women’s U-23 3×3 team advances to the quarterfinals of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games after sweeping the group stage. In their matches at Kinjo Futo Station Square, the Philippines beat Mongolia 17–12, then defeated Macau 21–4, and later added another group win over Malaysia 17–12 to finish with a perfect 3–0 record.
Kacey dela Rosa is highlighted across reports as a key scorer in the Philippines’ results, with support also coming from teammates including Maria Pasilang, Kennan Ka, and Amyah Espanol. Inquirer describes Gilas as gaining a direct place in the knockout stage due to its group sweep, setting up a quarterfinal matchup with the winner of a play-in game between the second-placed team from another group.
Rappler focuses on a later outcome, reporting that the Philippines falls short of gold against Japan in the women’s 3×3 event, with Japan pulling away due to strong shooting. This frames the team’s tournament progress alongside the final result, while the other sources emphasize early and group-stage performances.
