The UPIS Junior Maroons lost in their third game of the second round against Ateneo's Blue Eaglets with a score of 104-84 last Wednesday, January 22, at the FilOil Flying V Center Arena in San Juan, Metro Manila.
The first quarter was a close fight between the two, where the score was 21-20.
The Junior Maroons weren’t far behind at the end of the second quarter, scoring 48-44.
But as the second half made its way in, the Blue Eaglets became more ferocious by outplaying them and making sure that they will gain points. Because of this, they extended the lead to 77-62.
The last quarter saw the Blue Eaglets charging way ahead sealing the game with a final score of 104-84.
The Blue Eaglets consistently kept on shooting every time they had their hands on the ball. They also didn’t fail to take their chances to pass the ball to their unguarded team mate, free to shoot.
The Junior Maroons, often stole the ball from the Blue Eaglets when they were passing the ball to their fellow teammates.
When asked about their plan to raise the team from the bottom of the rankings, team captain Collin Dimaculangan said, “We keep on working in practice. Just trust our coaches."
