Dyke dominates as La Salle stays hot vs UE

 

MANILA, Philippines – Proving his worth yet again, Mark Dyke led La Salle to its 3rd straight win as the Green Archers downed the University of the East Red Warriors, 52-40, in the 2018 Milcu Sports Basketball presented by Got Skills Adidas Summer Showcase recently at the Trinity University Gym in Quezon City.

The incoming second-year forward – who returned to the Archers’ fold after trying his luck with Far Eastern University late last year – imposed his will all throughout the game and outmuscled defenders Shannon Gagate and Reymark Acuno en route to a 17-point, 18-rebound performance.

With transferee guard Jordan Bartlett also chipping in, the Green Archers outscored the Red Warriors, 28-11, in the second half on the way to the win that improved their record to 3-2.

Bartlett wound up with 9 points while backcourt partner Donn Lim scored 8.

Big man Acuno collected 12 points and 8 rebounds to pace the Warriors, who tote a 4-3 card.

Meanwhile, NU edged out Lyceum, 71-69, in a showdown between well-stocked programs.

Former UAAP Juniors champion Karl Penano showed the way with 18 points and 6 rebounds as the Bulldogs grabbed a share of the top spot at 4-2.

Versatile wings Mike Malonzo and Robert Minerva also delivered a combined 21 points and 13 boards.

The Pirates, who hold a 5-3 record, had their 3-game win run halted despite the best efforts of sweet-shooting forward Ralph Tansingco, who had 16 points and 5 rebounds.

In other results, Letran (4-2) also gained a share of the top spot following a 67-65 victory versus Arellano (4-2), while FEU (3-2) dragged UP (3-2) down the standings with a 56-53 win.
