CSB Blazers surge past JRU

Josh Albelda

The CSB Blazers aim to end their season on a high note even though they are already out of the NCAA Season 94 Final Four

MANILA, Philippines – College of St. Benilde used a big third quarter attack as it overpowered a listless Jose Rizal University, 84-68, on Tueday, October 16, inching closer to finish with a bang in a lost season in the 94th NCAA basketball tournament at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan City.

Up by just three points, 35-32, after the first half, the Blazers outscored the Bombers, 32-14, in the third period and never looked back from there to end a three-game skid and clinch their ninth win against eight setbacks.

Yankie Haruna and Unique Naboa conspired for 8 points each in that massive breakaway to lead their team to victory.

Haruna ended up with a team-high 18 points to go with 7 rebounds.

Already out of the Final Four, CSB will try to end its season on a high note as it goes up against Final Four-bound Letran next week.

JRU was in the game in the first half as it trailed by a slim margin—by a point after the first canto, 15-16, and by three after the half, 32-35.

It turned out its last breath as CSB went to the high-scoring Haruna-Naboa duo to seal the deal.

JRU finished its campaign at the bottom of the standings with a 3-15 (win-loss) card.

In the second non-bearing game, Mapua U trounced Arellano U, 91-78, to finish the season a 6-12 slate.

The Chiefs sputtered to 5-12.
