UCAL: Olivarez repels Guang Ming’s comeback attempt for 3-1 slate


Olivarez College rebounded from a stinging defeat last time with an 86-71 victory over Guang Ming College-Tagaytay City in the Universities and Colleges Athletic League-PG Flex Linoleum Season 6 on Monday at the Paco Arena.

Putting their 76-69 loss to defending champion Centro Escolar University last Thursday behind them, the Olivarez Sea Lions outscored the Flying Dragons 23-9 in the opening quarter on the way to a convincing win in the 9-school league, also presented by Angel’s Pizza.

While the Flying Dragons attempted to launch a run of their own in the third quarter, the Sea Lions were prepared and repelled it immediately.

The victory improved Olivarez’s record to 3-1, while GMC slipped to 2-3.

In the other game, University of Batangas secured its second win in three games by defeating Manila Central University 70-67, thanks to the 16-point and 14-rebound performance of Christian Tabeth.

Lance Austin De Leon came off the bench to lead Olivarez’s well-balanced attack with 13 points, while Mark Joshua Gallano and John Umali added 12 points each.

Also shining for the Sea Lions was the court general, Dan Earel Arches, who contributed 11 points, 10 assists, and grabbed 3 boards.

Joshua Jamias and Jhyster Jones Caaslan paced GMC with 14 points each.
