Group B leader La Salle takes on St. Benilde next, while Group A topnotcher NU battles San Sebastian in the knockout quarterfinals of the preseason tournament

MANILA, Philippines – La Salle completed a sweep of the elimination round after drubbing NCAA champion Letran, 90-54, in the FilOil EcoOil Preseason Cup on Saturday, August 20.

La Salle guard Evan Nelle delivered all-around numbers of 12 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block, while Kevin Quiambao was right there with him with 11 points, 7 boards, and 5 assists.

The Green Archers topped Group B with a 7-0 record and arranged a knockout match against the St. Benilde Blazers, the fourth-ranked squad in Group A (5-3), in the crossover quarterfinals.

San Sebastian, meanwhile, booked the last quarterfinal berth after escaping Jose Rizal University, 59-55, on the last day of eliminations at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.

Jesse Sumoda nailed a decisive three-point play in the last 63 seconds to help the Stags keep the Heavy Bombers at bay. 

Sumoda finished with 12 points and 9 rebounds for the Stags, who rose from 16 points down on the way to the crucial win that put them at fourth in Group B with a 4-3 record.

But the Stags face an even tougher assignment in the quarterfinals as they take on the NU Bulldogs, the Group A topnotcher who swept all eight assignments. 

The other quarterfinal pairings in the Tuesday quadruple-header will pit the UAAP champion UP Maroons (6-2) against the FEU Tamaraws (4-3); and the Adamson Falcons (5-3) against the Lyceum Pirates (5-1).

Eliminated teams San Beda (3-4), Emilio Aguinaldo College (4-4) and Arellano (2-6), meanwhile, ended their campaigns with separate victories.

San Beda hacked out a 79-71 triumph over Lyceum as the Red Lions bowed out winning three of their last four games after a 0-3 start.

The Generals used a strong start for an 80-63 rout of winless Mapua (0-8), while the Chiefs downed Perpetual Help (2-6) with an 84-66 triumph.
