MANILA, Philippines – The De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers outlasted a scrappy University of the East (UE) Red Warriors squad, 71-62, to secure a quarterfinal berth in the FilOil Flying V Preseason Cup in San Juan, Friday, May 25.
After UE kept toe-to-toe with La Salle, the unbeaten Archers ran away with the game in the final quarter by dropping a 15-6 run highlighted by a Mark Dyke alley-oop from team veteran Andrei Caracut for a 67-52 advantage.
Dyke continued his strong play in the tournament, finishing with 18 points and 9 rebounds in just 17 minutes without a single turnover.
Taane Samuel had 12 points and 9 boards, but also tallied 5 giveaways to UE.
Alvin Pasaol buried a game-high 20 points on top of 5 boards and 2 steals, but his perimeter shooting went cold down the stretch, which doomed the Red Warriors.
The Warriors absorbed their 3rd loss in 4 outings.
In the other games, the Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws held back a late rally by the depleted University of Santo Tomas (UST) Growling Tigers, 86-82.
The Adamson University (AdU) Soaring Falcons also survived a gritty challenge from the Arellano University (AU) Chiefs, 67-61, while the Colegio San Juan de Letran (CSJL) Knights dominated the winless Jose Rizal University (JRU) Heavy Bombers, 94-71.
Meanwhile, the postponed May 22 match between the Mapua University (MU) Cardinals and University of Perpetual Help (UPH) Altas has been officially ruled a forfeit loss on the no-show Perpetual. The decision put Mapua on top at 4-0 with Ateneo and La Salle, while the Altas dropped to 0-5.
