MANILA, Philippines -- Adamson came out on top against Far Eastern University in a rematch of UAAP Juniors Season 85 finals, while Philippine Christian University-Dasmarinas finally barged into the win column in the PG Flex Inter-Secondary Tournament at the Veacon Hope Center in Caloocan City last Saturday.
The Baby Falcons bared their claws on the defensive end to pull away in the final frame and got back at the Baby Tamaraws with a 64-52 victory while the Dolphins outlasted Lyceum Pirates, 78-75 in the clash between the winless teams.
It was a total team effort for Adamson as no Baby Falcon breached double-digits in scoring. But eight players chipped at least six points apiece, led by John Reyes’ nine points and seven rebounds.
Adamson’s defense proved to be a tough nut to crack for FEU, which was limited to a measly eight points in the final frame – a drought the Baby Falcons made sure to take advantage of.
PCU-D, on the other hand, was steady from the charity stripe in the end game to fend off a last ditch rally from Lyceum. Jayr Pronda finished with a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds as the Dolphins improved to a 1-3 record.
Adamson remained spotless through four games along with National University, which earlier routed University of Batangas, 91-46.
Letran, after dropping its first game, is now on a streak winning its last three games, including a 91-83 victory over Ateneo.
Collins Akowe had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Bullpups, while the Squires leaned on Thirdy Golez and Basti Reyes, who both had 11 points each.
