Defending champions
La Consolacion College- Manila sustained their dominant form as it creamed the
University of Asia and the Pacific, 94-51, to banner the action-packed
Wednesday schedule of the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association (ISAA) season
14 basketball tournament at the LCCM gym in Manila.
After a
tight 41-32 halftime lead, the Blue Royals unleashed a 21-0 run in the third
quarter and held on from there to keep its unbeaten record at 3-0.
The loss
proved costly for the Dragons, as it stays at the cellar at 0-3.
In other senior
games, WCC Aeronautical and Technological College and Treston International
College pulled off wins over their respective rivals to get into the winning
groove.
The
Skyhawks vented its ire on the AirLink Blazing Phoenix, 84-77, to grab solo
second at 2-1 and to ease the pain from a stinging 71-73 loss at the hands of
ICCT Colleges last Sunday.
The Golden
Lions upended the Philippine Women’s University (PWU) Patriots (1-2) in double overtime, 95-89,
for an even 1-1 record.
In the lone
juniors game, LCCM eked out an 81-79 win over AirLink.
Action will
take a two-day rest before returning with a triple bill on Saturday at the
Trinity University of Asia gym in Quezon City.
