Baby Falcons repulse Baby Tams; Dolphins triumph
MANILA, Philippines — Adamson repulsed Far Eastern University, 64-52, in a rematch of the UAAP Juniors Season 85 finals while Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas barged into the win column with a 78-75 decision over Lyceum in the PG Flex Inter-Secondary Tournament at the Veacon Hope Center in Caloocan Saturday.
It was a total team effort for Adamson as no Falcon breached double-digits in scoring but eight players chipped in at least six points apiece led by John Reyes’ nine points on top of seven rebounds.
Adamson’s defense proved to be a big key against the FEU side which the Baby Falcons limited to eight points in the final frame.
PCU-D, on the other hand, was steady from the 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 had 11 points each.
