aaron lina,
Despite struggling offensively during the first three quarters, the Junior Maroons played good defense to stay close behind the Baby Falcons.
Headed by juniors Freddy Pajarillaga and Gelo Sablan, UPIS played catch-up aggressively on both ends of the court by forcing turnovers, scoring easy baskets, and controlling the boards.
With the score tied at 57-all, UPIS exerted one final push and finally got the lead less than a minute left in the ballgame via an undergoal stab and free throw conversion by Sablan.
But it was a steal by Paolo Ancheta which prevented the Falcons from coming back that sealed the game for the Junior Maroons. ● by Aaron Lina and Juanito Gregorio
