Uratex Dream eyes glory in WPBA 3×3

Uratex is looking to extend its local dominance to the PBA.

The Dream will be one of the six teams participating in the Invitational WPBA 3×3 which tips off next week.

Kaye Pingol, the no. 5-ranked women’s 3×3 player in the country, captain the Uratex side as it aims to maintain its position as the standard in local women’s 3×3 hoops.

Joining her in the Dream lineup are Sam Harada, Eunique Chan, Shanda Anies, Cecilia Junsay, and April Siat.

“It’s a longtime coming and we’re happy to be part of the rise of women’s 3×3 basketball on the local front. We’re just happy to compete and we’ll make sure to give it our all in the WPBA 3×3,” said team owner Peachy Medina.

But Uratex Dream will have their hands full with a stacked field which includes Gilas A, Gilas B, Philippine Air Force, Philippine Navy, and Angelis Resort.

It’s going to be a short three-week elimination schedule starting on Jan. 22 to 23 at Ayala Malls Circuit Makati, on Jan. 29 to 30 at Ayala Malls Market! Market!, and on Feb. 5 and 6 at Ayala Malls Manila Bay, with the top four teams advancing to the knockout playoffs to be held on Feb. 19 at Ayala Malls Glorietta.
