UE deals Mapua first loss; UP continues to roll


By: Jonash Dannug

Philip Manalang and the University of the East Red Warriors scored an impressive victory as they handed the Mapua University Cardinals their first loss of the tournament, 92-84, in the Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup presented by Chooks-to-Go, at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.

It was a nip-and-tuck affair in the first three quarters, with both teams exchanging baskets back and forth. However, Alvin Pasaol and Manalang drained back-to-back three pointers in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter to separate themselves from the scrappy Cardinals, 73-67.

“He’s one of our veterans; he’s one of our captains, so we expect a lot from him. The problem is he can’t do it alone. Him and Alvin cannot do it alone,” pointed out UE head coach Joe Silva about his team’s co-captains.

Manalang poured 14 of his 20 big points in the final frame to help UE collect their second win of the tournament. Alvin Pasaol scored 24 points and 11 rebounds, while Mark Maloles added 11.

Lawrence Victoria led Mapua with 17 points, while rookie Warren Bonifacio added 16 points and nine rebounds in a losing effort.

After losing their first three games of the tournament, the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons turned their fortunes around with their fourth consecutive victory, this time against the cellar-dweller Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals, 83-70, in the first game of the evening.

Down by 22 points in the third quarter, the Generals opened the final frame with a 9-0 run to trim the deficit to 11, 70-59. However, the duo of Paul Desiderio and Will Gozum poured in 13 points combined to deny the Generals their first win in the preseason cup.

JP Maguliano paced the Generals with 15 and 10 boards, while Rustan Bugarin added 12 markers for EAC, who are still winless in the tournament.
