TAGUIG--Since joining the NCAA in 2009, Emilio Aguinaldo College had never tasted victory against San Beda in men's basketball.
Until Tuesday came.
In their 28th face-off, the Generals finally won one against the Red Lions, blowing them out, 68-55, at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
Since conceding the game's first basket, it was all EAC from there, eventually opening a 29-point lead, 58-29, late in the third quarter.
San Beda finished the game on a 15-0 run, but EAC's lead was already insurmountable despite the endgame drought.
Harvey Pagsanjan led the Generals, who tied their victims at 2-2, with 14 points, seven rebounds, and one steal, while JC Luciano added 13 points and eight rebounds.
Yukien Andrada led the Red Lions with 12 points, six rebounds, one assist, and one steal.
The scores:
EAC 68 - Pagsanjan 14, Luciano 13, Gurtiza 9, Oftana 9, Doromal 6, Quinal 5, Ochavo 4, Bagay 4, Lucero 2, Loristo 2, Umpad 0, Angeles 0, Bacud 0
SAN BEDA 55 - Andrada 12, Puno 9, Tagle 7, Royo 5, Payosing 3, Estacio 3, Songcuya 3, Richi Calimag 3, Celzo 3, Sajonia 3, RC Calimag 3, Gonzales 1, Jalbuena 0, Tagala 0
