After being crushed by the Doves in Game 1, the Flaming Arrows bounced back in Game 2 with an 81-76 victory Wednesday and gained a chance to clinch their first-ever NCRAA plum.
Gametime is 11 a.m.
Coach Leo Isaac believes that the key to winning the title is holding off St. Francis’ main men Leomer Losentes, Christopher Concepcion and Chris Pacana.
"Konting adjustments pa, we have to limit the production of these three," said Isaac as the Flaming Arrows will try to keep the Doves from clinching their seventh title in 12 finals appearances.
Alfie Martinez showed the way for Arellano U in Game 2, when he connected with a decisive layup with 15.7 seconds left, his basket giving the Flaming Arrows a seven-point cushion at 80-73 en route to the victory that frustrated the Doves’ bid of nailing the title outright via a 2-0 sweep.
