Finally last November 10, the girls’ basketball team regained the juniors’ crown of the 44th Women’s National Collegiate Athletic Association (WNCAA), sweeping Miriam College in two straight games of the finals held at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex and Rizal Technological University. The last time the crown was won by the CKSC Lady Dragons was in 2007. The team was coached by Diana Sy, who was assisted by Angelina Fidellaga and Cristina dela Cruz.
