Pivotal Player Award cited for Racal, Pogoy

A couple of recently graduating players will have one final award for their collegiate exploits.

Kevin Racal and Roger Pogoy's feats in the finals of their respective leagues are set to be acknowledged by the UAAP-NCAA Press Corps with the Pivotal Player award.

The Pivotal Player award is designated to players who made a significant impact for their teams in a championship series. Recent winners of this award include Garvo Lanete, Dave Marcelo, Anthony Semerad (San Beda), Ryan Buenafe, Kirk Long (Ateneo), and Alfred Aroga (NU) 

Racal averaged 20 points for Letran as they clinched their 17th NCAA title by dethroning San Beda in three games.

Pogoy, on the other hand, averaged 14.7 points for Far Eastern University against the University of Santo Tomas in their finals matchup. His three-pointer with 87 seconds remaining gave the Tamaraws the lead at 61-60 that they would never relinquish on their way to their 20th UAAP title.

The two will be bestown this honor on the Collegiate Basketball Awards later tonight.
