 The Jaguars went on a 13-4 roll to start the third period, racing to a 49-40 lead before cruising in the fourth quarter.

Meanwhile, unbeaten Olivarez College drew 18 points from Eldridge Corpus as the Sea Lions swamped the Manuel L. Quezon University cagers, 108-66, last Friday to stretch their win run to four.

In other results, Jeff Disquitado scored 16 points to lead the National College of Business and Arts Wildcats to a 92-87 win over the Patriots.

In women’s volleyball, defending champion La Salle-Dasmarinas relied on a service ace by Mariel Desengano then pounced on a receiving error by Rizal Technological University as it posted a 25-20, 25-15, 25-13 victory for the solo lead with a 2-0 slate.
