In the first part of the collegiate doubleheader, JJ Domingo stepped to the plate for the College of Saint Benilde as the Blazers bucked the ejection of Clement Leutcheu with an 84-71 victory over Emilio Aguinaldo College.
Averaging 2.2 points coming into the match, the former FEU-Diliman standout sizzled with 22 points as he helped end a two-game skid. Eight of those came in the fourth quarter as the Blazers fended off the Generals' repeated comeback attempts.
When asked about the JJ's performance, head coach Ty Tang shares, "We know he can score and it's just a matter of patience. I hope he continues to dish out these kind of games.
Tang adds, "We were alive again and we hope this win gives us momentum entering our final two first round games."
Leutcheu was ejected for incurring two unsportsmanlike acts, the first one during the first half as he was battling against his counterpart Hamadou Laminou, while the second came in the fourth quarter after a perceived kick while on the floor to Laminou, which Juju Bautista did not take kindly to.'
Ejections in the NCAA have an automatic one-game suspension, so Leutcheu will miss the game against Arellano later this week.
In the other collegiate matchup, Perpetual help relied on the shooting of AJ Coronel and Jielo Razon late to fend off winless Jose Rizal University, 78-72.
Coronel and Razon nailed three straight triples after Jed Mendoza and Jun Silvarez conspired to give the Heavy Bombers a 72-69 lead in the fourth quarter.
The Altas move themselves into a share of third place with the Letran Knights with a 4-2 record.
