The Final Four picture for the 94th Season of the NCAA is getting a little more clearer, after Letran and Perpetual secured victories against separate opposition this past Tuesday afternoon at the Filoil Flying V Centre.
The Knights downed Emilio Aguinaldo College in the first game of the collegiate doubleheader, 91-82, to secure their ninth win of the season.
After stellar performances from Bong Quinto and JP Calvo in their recent matches, the spotlight shone on Letran's seldom-used role players this time.
Jeremiah Taladua, Fran Yu, and Nico Galvelo combined to score 43 points for the Jeff Napa-coached side, all of which were their career-best.
Taladua and Yu anchored the bench scoring with 15 and 13 points, respectively, as they broke the game open with their offense in the second half. Meanwhile, Galvelo stepped into the starting role left by Jerrick Balanza to contribute fifteen points.
In spite of their quiet performances, Letran's veteran leadership still maintained their presence, as Calvo dished out nine assists, while Quinto had an all-around performance of eight points, eight rebounds, and six assists.
Napa is hoping such a performance would be the start of something from their role players, sharing to the media after the game, "Hopefully, they could be consistent the rest of the season not just in this game." He also added, "But we can’t stay complacent, we still have to work and prepare for our next game."
As for the Altas, they rode on a strong start from AJ Coronel to secure their first wire-to-wire victory of the season, an 85-73 win over Jose Rizal University that moved them into a tie for fourth place with idle College of Saint Benilde at 8-5.
Coronel matched the Heavy Bombers' fifteen-point output in the first quarter, helping Perpetual erect an eight-point lead, 23-15. He would finish with 22 points and eleven rebounds. True freshman Jielo Razon bounced back with 21 points, while Prince Eze follow-up his Player of the Week performance against Lyceum with sixteen points and thirteen rebounds.
Much like their first round meeting, though, JRU proved to be a dicey opponent, with Jed Mendoza and Leo Esguerra keeping them afloat in this one as they crashed to their twelfth defeat of the season.
The Scores:
Letran 91 -- Taladua 15, Galvelo 15, Yu 13, Ambohot 10, Muyang 9, Quinto 8, Fajarito 8, Calvo 5, Celis 5, Mandreza 2, Agbong 1, Balagasay 0, Pambid 0, Banez 0.
EAC 82 -- Garcia 20, Laminou 16, Maguliano 16, Tampoc 11, Bugarin 6, Corilla 5, Neri 3, Mendoza 3, Cadua 2, Natividad 0, Gonzales 0.
Quarterscores: 18-15; 36-32; 67-54; 91-82.
Second Game
Perpetual Help 85 -- Coronel 22, Razon 21, Eze 16, Aurin 5, Jimenez 5, Charcos 4, Cuevas 4, Mangalino 3, Tamayo 3, Pasia 2, Peralta 0.
JRU 73 -- Mendoza 22, Esguerra 21, Estrella 10, Aguilar 8, Dela Virgen 3, Mallari 3, David 2, Doromal 2, Silvarez 0, Bordon 0, Padua 0.
Quarterscores: 23-15; 40-36; 67-56; 85-73.
