Yuan Yuan's (NTU #5) goal in the 81st minute helped Nanyang Technological University (NTU) regain its Singapore University Games (SUniG) Football Championship title which they lost to National University of Singapore (NUS) last year.
With five players on their roster who recently helped Singapore beat Malaysia to the Asian Youth Netball Championships title in Korea, NUS asserted their dominance early on.

Amanda Lim (NTU #9) scored a game-high 22 points while Shermaine See (NTU #5) added 20 points of her own in NTU's victory over NUS.
Lead by Sean Hoo's (NTU #30) game-high 16 points, NTU pulled away in the fourth to defeat NUS 71-53.
