UPIS Junior Maroons scores first win in 3 years

It took a last second shot in their last game of the season to break a 55-game losing run.

The UPIS Junior Fighting Maroons finally had a taste of victory after 3 long years when they beat the UE Junior Warriors, 73-71, in overtime last September 10 at the Blue Eagle Gym.

Sophomore Adam Lopez grabbed the ball off a missed free throw by Jozhua General and scored the game-winning put-back with less than 10 seconds left in the clock.

With the score tied at 26 at the half, the Junior Warriors opened the third quarter with a 12-3 run to lead by 9, 38-29, but the Junior Maroons fiercely battled back to keep the game close.

Angelo Sablan scored a lay-up to put UPIS in the lead, 61-59, towards the end of regulation but UE was able to tie the count and force overtime.

Sablan finished the game with 17 points to lead all UPIS scorers. Kim Cinco scored 11, Freddy Pajarillaga added 10, while Lopez and Paolo Ancheta chipped in 8 apiece. -- CC, with reports from Anna Angala, Ysmael Mendoza, and Nadine Maximo

Feature: Tea, please

Ysmael Mendoza, Nadine Maximo

Strategically located at #59 Maginhawa Street, UP Village Quezon City, Tea Please has quickly become one of the hottest places to hang out and get your milk tea fix.

Founded by Eunice Canlas & Ivy Canlas last June 2011, Tea Please has amazingly produced 37 exciting flavors, varying from regular Milk Tea to sensational flavor ideas such as Toasted Marshmallow, Cookie Dough and Creme Brulee.

With pocket-friendly prices which range from P60-P80, we tried their best sellers and came up with these must-try suggestions:

You must try Creme Brulee if you’re craving for something sweet and mouth-watering. Caramel, on the other hand, is a satisfying, refreshing thirst quencher. If you’re fed up with the typical Cookies and Cream Flavor, you might want to try out their Cookie Dough. And for something new and sophisticated, Toasted Marshamallow and Tiramisu are must tries.

Tea Please also offers a lot of ice-breaker games which you can borrow from the counter. They also have a bulletin board where you can post your comments and suggestions for the store. With its subtle touch of greenery, the tea shop is a perfect place to hang-out with friends.

Tea Please is open Monday-Saturday, 11:30am-10:00pm. Check out their Facebook page -- http://www.facebook.com/TeaPleaseShop--and follow them on Twitter--http://twitter.com/TeaPlease_Shop (AF, CC)
