Mixed results for Letran in Fr. Martin's Cup Summer League play

La Consolacion vs Letran in Fr. Martin's Cup Summer League action
La Consolacion College of Manila overcame a sluggish start to turn back Letran in the 25th Fr. Martin's Cup Summer League, 79-71, inside the Mendiola campus of San Beda on Tuesday.

The Knights rode on Kenny Rocacurba's hot shooting to establish a 10-1 lead early on, but TJ Cariño and the rest of the Blue Royals would survive their early struggles to eventually take a 41-33 halftime lead.

LCC-M would then open the third with an 11-2 run to take the biggest lead of the game at 52-36, but Letran answered that with their own run that eventually reduced that deficit to just four points with 5:41 left in the game, 66-62.

However, Gabriel Latoreno would stabilize things for La Consolacion with key baskets late to eventually secure their first win in league play.

Cariño led the winners with eighteen points, while Ahron Estacio added fourteen markers.

Rocacurba topped all scorers with 26 points, as Letran falls to 1-3 in Group B.

Letran did manage a win today through in the Juniors division, as the Squires easily dispatched Diliman Preparatory School, 100-60.

Shawn Umali and Andrei Romenez each scored thirteen points in the win, which keeps their record spotless at 3-0 in Group A.

Aaron Acop led the Junior Blue Dragons with seventeen points in their tournament debut.

The 25th edition of the Fr. Martin's Cup Summer League is presented by Resorts World Manila, Bedans 62-66, and Cocolife.
