She led the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigresses to the finals, where they lost to the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) Lady Eagles.
Meanwhile, Pons played for the FEU Lady Tamaraws for five years. She helped the team end a nine-year finals drought by eliminating the Ateneo Lady Eagles in the Final Four of UAAP Season 80. However, they lost to the De La Salle Lady Archers in the Finals.
