The University of Perpetual Help System Dalta kept its record in the NCAA Season 101 Men's Basketball tournament unblemished after escaping as 72-67 winners against Arellano University on Saturday afternoon at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Mark Gojo Cruz led the Altas with thirteen points. He shared afterwards, "Kinailangan namin laruin possession by possession ‘yong laro kasi ‘di namin kailangan sumabay sa kanila sa transition."
The sophomore adds, "Focused lang kami. Sabi lang namin sa isa’t isa na magfocus at kung sino ‘yong open titira lang."
Also finishing in double figures for Perpetual are Patrick Sleat and Josiah Alcantara, with twelve and eleven markers, respectively.
TMac Ongotan led all scorers with twenty points, but the defeat drops the Chiefs to 1-2.
The Olsen Racela-coached side is hoping to extend their streak to five when they face the Colegio de San Juan this Wednesday at San Juan.
In their juniors matchup, Ray Ladica's jumper with six seconds remaining proved to be the winning basket for Arellano's 97-95 triumph over the defending champions.
Ladica finished with 23 points for the Braves.
