Malonzo saves best for last, leads La Salle rout Adamson in closer

Andrei Caracut also ended his collegiate run with 14 points, six assists, and three rebounds.

La Salle s finished the year at an even 7-7, in fifth.

“Lots of learnings for us,” said coach Gian Nazario. “Hats off to these two guys. They ended their college careers well.”

Justine Baltazar also tallied a double-double with his 14 points and 13 rebounds.

The Green Archers asserted control in the game through their hot shooting. They went 42-percent from the field, including a 46-percent shooting from downtown.

La Salle also controlled the boards, out-rebounding Adamson, 63 to 43.

Besides Malonzo and Caracut, James Laput-Pado, and Keyshawn Meeker ended their college careers.

On the other hand, the Soaring Falcons suffered four straight losses to bow out with a 4-10 slate.

AP Manlapaz topped Adamson with 15 points and four rebounds, while Jerom Lastimosa scored 10.

Simon Camacho, Kristian Bernardo, Egie Mojica, and Valandre Chauca all played their final collegiate game as well.
