It was as if Jack Animam did not leave the Philippines and is still with the National University Lady Bulldogs posting monster numbers.

The Filipina import acquired by Shih Hsin University once again led her team to another crushing victory over Fo Guang University, 94-63, and completed an 11-game elimination sweep in the University Basketball Association.

Animam was a force in the paint for Shih Hsin and grabbed an insane 23-rebound stat line on top of her 18-point production.

In just the first half of the game, the towering Filipina already scored 14 points and registered 14 rebounds as they enjoyed a 47-26 lead going into the second half.

Aside from the impressive rebounding and scoring Animam displayed, she also showed her defensive capabilities after contributing four steals and a block.

With the victory, Shih Hsin grabbed top spot honors and will defend their championship title in the University Basketball Association.
