(Central News Agency reporter Chen Rong-chen, Taipei, 19th) In the University Basketball Association (UBA) Women's Division 1 championship game today, Shih Hsin University defeated Chinese Culture University 66-61 in overtime, completing a run of six championships in seven years. Coach Lin Ji-wen expressed her desire to award the Most Valuable Player (MVP) to You Qin-hua for her silent contributions.
Shih Hsin, which previously created a "dynasty" with five consecutive UBA Women's Division 1 championships, faced an exodus of some key players last season and finished in 4th place, missing the chance to hoist the championship trophy again. However, the Shih Hsin women's basketball team regrouped this year. Relying on the rotational contributions of their "Iron Triangle"—Qiu Yong-ling, Cai You-lian, and You Qin-hua—they successfully overturned Culture University despite being the underdogs, fulfilling their wish to return to championship glory.
After the first quarter tipped off, the Shih Hsin women's team was almost entirely in a trailing position. However, after the teams switched baskets, Qiu Yong-ling led the charge, helping the team keep the game tight. Although they failed to execute the crucial final shot in the 4th quarter, Shih Hsin steadied their pace in overtime, perfectly locking down their opponents' offense and preventing Culture University from adding any points. Ultimately, they reclaimed the championship they lost last year, creating the unprecedented feat of six titles in seven years.
The Shih Hsin women's team showcased their collective firepower in this game. Cai You-lian posted an all-around stat line of 12 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists. Paint enforcer You Qin-hua contributed 4 points, 17 rebounds, and 7 assists. Qiu Yong-ling and Ye Xin-yi both added 13 points.
During a joint media interview after the game, Shih Hsin coach Lin Ji-wen stated that the team encountered many challenges this season, but she never doubted this group of players. She even joked that facing so many players alone felt like dating many people at once. She specifically mentioned wanting to give the MVP award to You Qin-hua for her unsung efforts: "She is a crucial factor in winning the championship. She used all her stamina on defense, running everywhere to help cover for her teammates."
Wrapping up her UBA career with a championship, You Qin-hua revealed that after this year of tempering, she believes she is ready to challenge higher levels. She also mentioned that this championship feels a bit surreal. After all, she previously completed the five-peat following the lead of upperclassmen, but now, having become an upperclassman herself, she feels she has grown in experience: "I now have the ability to lead everyone too."
