Bucking the absence of key cog Allen Liwag, the College of Saint Benilde extended its winning streak to three games after a 73-65 victory over Jose Rizal University in San Juan on Sunday.
Head coach Charles Tiu noted afterwards, "We just had to weather the storm. That’s something we talked about." He adds, "Give credit to JRU. They’re a really good team and they play so hard. Those (JRU) kids are young but man, they’re legit."
The Heavy Bombers managed to creep close after Sean Salvador made three free throws to reduce its deficit to 65-63 with under three minutes left, but the Blazers regained their footing thanks to their defense and buckets from Raffy Celis and Justine Sanchez.
The former led all scorers with twenty points, while the latter added seventeen points, six rebounds, and five assists.
Salvador would top JRU with his thirteen markers, while Jun Peñaverde contributed eleven for the cause, as they dropped to 2-2 in the ongoing season.
In juniors action, the Light Bombers rode on a strong fourth quarter against La Salle-Greenhills to emerge as 66-64 victors.
The scores:
CSB 73 - Celis 20, Sanchez 17, Morales 7, Ancheta 5, Umali 5, Moore 5, Oli 5, Gaspay 3, Eusebio 2, Cajucom 2, Ynot 1, Galas 1, Jalalon 0
JRU 65 - Salvador 13, Peñaverde 11, Argente 9, Lozano 9, Benitez 7, Panapanaan 5, Laurenaria 5, Garupil 4, Herrera 2, Duque 0, Castillo 0, Sarmiento 0
