MANILA, Philippines – Southwestern University scored a mighty comeback in the second half and stunned De La Salle University in overtime en route to a 68-58 in the semifinals of the 2013 Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL) on Monday, December 9 at the Blue Eagle Gym.

Melvin Holper drained back-to-back triples in extra period and the Southern Islands champions put on big defensive stops to complete a huge turnaround for their first semis win.

Trailing by double-digits in the first half, the Cobra made a strong turnaround in the second half and forced extra time. They outscored the Green Archers, 16-6 in overtime. La Salle struggled in extra time, shooting just 2-of-9 while Southwestern U drained 75% of their shots.

La Salle had chances to win it in regulation but Almond Vosotros’ elbow jumper and Jason Perkins’ putback both went off the mark.

Mac Tallo, a former Green Archer, led the Cobras with an all-around effort of 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. – with reports from Levi Verora/Rappler.com
