MANILA – La Consolacion College- Manila and Treston
International College notched their second straight wins against separate
opponents in Day 2 of basketball action of the Inter-Scholastic Athletic
Association (ISAA) Season 15 at the LCCM Gym in Mendiola here Saturday.
The defending three-time champs Blue Royals pulled away with
a 19-5 fourth-quarter run to make mincemeat of Philippine Women’s University, 84-64,
for a 2-0 start so far in the tournament.
Christian Alonzo continued his high-scoring exploits for the
boys of Coach Kenyon Chee with 18 points while reigning MVP JM Urmeneta got 14
off the bench. Carl Villapana provided the added spark with 11 markers and four
boards.
PWU suffered its second setback in as many games. Daniel
Santelices and John Matthew Espiritu churned in 18 and 17 points in that order
for the Patriots.
Treston then came to life in the second quarter behind their
torrid three-point shooting to issue an 89-71 spanking on the University of Asia
and the Pacific and likewise share a taste of the lead with a 2-0 slate.
Rasheen Jose once again led the Golden Lions attack with 20
points, seven rebounds, and five assists as the Taguig-based squad fired 11
triples and led by as many as 27 points in the second half.
Federico Yanos added 12 markers on 5-of-10 shooting for Treston.
Michael Delos Santos paced UA&P, now at 0-2, with 20
points, while spitfire guard Travis Batino had 19.
Meanwhile, the Immaculada Concepcion College and Saint Dominic
College of Asia recovered from opening-day losses to pummel their rivals.
The Pikemen limited the Skyhawks to just five points in the
final quarter while banking on their balanced scoring output to score a 77-68
victory for their maiden win in their comeback season.
Edward Daquioag led four other SDCA players in double
figures with 19 points and five rebounds, with Sean Andrew Azurin and Adrian
German cashing in 15 and 12 markers, respectively.
Ivan Salinel’s game-best 24-point output went for naught as
the Skyhawks fell to an even 1-1 slate.
ICC, on the other hand, bounced back in a big way, venting
its ire on the PATTS Seahorses, 84-72. AJ Flores flirted with a triple-double
with 23 points, nine rebounds, and six assists as the Blue Hawks shrugged off its
tough loss against LCCM on Thursday.
Mark Jayson Morada pumped 19 points and Aldrich Lopez 16,
but it wasn’t enough as the Seahorses tied their conquerors at 1-1.
In the juniors division, ICC avoided the gritty
fourth-quarter stance by Treston with a 82-75 win. John Lester Castillo issued an
across-the-board performance with 24 points, six rebounds, five steals, three
assists, and a block as the Baby Blue Hawks fended off a furious endgame run by
the Golden Cubs.
The league will take a one-week break and will resume on November 6 at the Treston College gym.
