The Philippines qualified for the tournament final with her scoring four goals in five games as a striker. Prior to the qualifiers, she was trained in her natural position of left back.[12]

Madarang was among the players named to the national team that participated at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games. However she sustained an injury on August 8, 2017 during a training camp in Japan, a few days before the regional tournament.
