Regidor, Lastimoso power Maroon versus Green

CEBU - Erstwhile pro and commercial star Lou Regidor fired 27 points and Frankie Lastimoso added 20 as Maroon dumped Green, 111-98, for its second straight win in as many starts in the USC-SC PTCA, Inc. basketball tournament at the USC-South Campus covered court.

In the other games, Team Red led by Rey Abarquez defeated Light Blue, 88-80, while the Orange squad of Alex Cainglet demolished the Jeson Guardo-sponsored Black, 81-61.
