San Beda pounds EAC to claim second NCAA win
The San Beda Red Lions pounded the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals with a 108-80 blowout to remain unscathed

MANILA, Philippines – The San Beda Red Lions pounded the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals with a 108-80 blowout to remain unscathed in the ongoing NCAA Season 91 men’s senior basketball tourney on Thursday, July 2 at the Filoli Flying V Arena in San Juan.

Following his all-round performance on their opening-day game against the Mapua Cardinals over the weekend, Art Dela Cruz’s star shined the brightest once again for Jamike Jarin’s red-and-white troop as he hauled 22 markers, 13 boards, four assists and two steals.

The 5-time defending NCAA champions San Beda withstood a late 17-4 run by the Generals, which was led by Mbang Adoum.

 Despite the intrepid effort Adoum Abba, who scored 12 points with rebounds in the first half, San Beda was able to finish the first period with a nine-point lead, 25-16.

The Red Lions completely pulled away in the second canto, where back-up gunslingers Jeramer Cabañag and Amiel Soberano combined 13 points to extend the lead.

Roland Sara also chipped in six points for the red shirts, while court general Baser Amer had a surprise return in the same quarter and made his presence felt by sinking in a three-pointer.

SBC’s defense was on full display as they limited the Andy De Guzman-mentored brigade by 37 points while concluding the first half with a comfortable 21-point insurance.

San Beda’s bench continued the onslaught in the third quarter to give the Red Lions a 88-57 edge with collective contributions from Pierre Tankou, Cabañag and Soberano.

In the fourth quarter, EAC relied on former San Beda Red Cub Francis Munsayac, who singlehandedly registered 20 points in the ball game.

Munsayac was able to expurgate San Beda’s control with his beyond-the-arc shooting that cut the deficit to 18 before being ejected at the 1:58 mark of the regulation due to an elbow that he accidentally landed on Soberano.

San Beda (2-0) secures solo lead in the team standings with the prevailing triumph over EAC, while the San Marcelino-based squad (0-1) falters in their first outing this season.

San Beda 108 – Dela Cruz 22, Soberano 12, Adeogun 12, Sara 11, Cabanag 10, Tongco 10, Sorela 9, Tankoua 9, Reyes 6, Amer 3, Koga 2, Sedillo 2, Bonsubre 0, Presbitero 0.
