The Gilas Pilipinas Women caught fire from beyond the arc to wrap up their 2026 FIBA Women’s Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament campaign on a high note, defeating Senegal 79-75 to secure a breakthrough win.

The hard-fought victory gave newly appointed head coach BT Toews his first win at the helm of the Philippine national team.

A balanced offensive attack powered the Filipina squad, with Kacey Dela Rosa, Sophia Dignadice, and Vanessa De Jesus scoring 16 points each to lead the way.

Gilas relied heavily on hot perimeter shooting to neutralize Senegal’s physical presence, consistently finding open looks from 3-point range to hold off late surges by the African side.

The win marks a spirited conclusion to the tournament for the Philippines as Toews begins building momentum for the program’s long-term international pipeline.
