Altas buck slow start, beat Generals
MANILA, Philippines — University of Perpetual Help solidified position in Group A after it downed Emilio Aguinaldo College, 69-60, yesterday in NCAA Season 101 at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.
But the Altas had to overcome an excruciatingly slow start and erase a double-digit deficit in the opening quarter by stifling the Generals with their resolute defense in the final three periods in snaring their sixth win in seven outings.
“We need to win as much as we can for us to have a chance,” said UPHSD coach Olsen Racela, also cautioning his wards not to fall to a wrong sense of complacency.
“We need to really play cautiously and not be overconfident,” he said. “As long as we stick to our system, especially on defense, we’ll be okay.”
The Generals slipped to 3-4.
