The NU Lady Bulldogs are the collegiate women's basketball team of the National University (NU), which play in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), the premiere sports league in the country.
History
The NU Lady Bulldogs competes in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
They had their most successful results in the 2010s. Dioceldo Sy of Ever Bilena became the Lady Bulldog's sports patron in 2011. Sy in turn tapped Patrick Aquino as head coach in 2012. The Sy-sponsored staff had to contend with the women's basketball in a landscape where the sport is viewed as a men's sport and the draw of more prestigious UAAP schools in player recruitment. Aquino was allowed to leave his role to focus on coaching the Philippine women's national team in 2022.
The Lady Bulldogs under Aquino would reach their first ever finals in 2013 during Season 76.
The Lady Bulldogs went on to win seven consecutive titles starting from the succeeding Season 77 to Season 85 (2014–22). This matched the feat of the Robert Jaworski-led University of the East Red Warriors men's team from 1965 to 1971 Coach Aris Dimaunahan won the seventh and last title of that streak.
However the Lady Bulldogs' streak was ended in 2023 by the UST Tigresses in the finals of Season 86 It also ended a 108-game winning streak.
