NU dominated the battle of the boards, 6642, while also forcing 30 big turnovers from the Junior Warriors. Paul Dagunan was the only UE cager in double-figures with 14 points.
FEU-FERN BABY TAMARAWS over UPIS JUNIOR MAROONS, 67-51
FEU-FERN 67 - Bienes 19, Fajarito 11, Lee 9, Peromingan 8, Comboy 6, Harrow 6, Khatri 2, Pineda 2, Lloren 2, Aquino 2, Cuasay 0, Longalong 0, Ibanez 0.

QS: 19-11; 30-22; 45-33; 67-51.
- FEU-FERN also stamped its class in this match, leading from wire to wire to notch their first win of the tournament. Brandrey Bienes scored a ton here, dropping 19 points to lead the Baby Tams, while Christian Fajarito recorded a double-double with 11 markers, 13 boards, and 2 blocks. FEU’s defense was in high gear in this one, forcing the Junior Maroons to shoot just 27% from the field. Jaggie Gregorio paced the losing side with 11 points, but he shot just 1/8 from the floor.
ATENEO BLUE EAGLETS over UST TIGER CUBS, 82-70
AHS 82 - Mendoza 22, Nieto Mi. 20, Joson 11, Mamuyac 8, Ildefonso 5, Andrade 4, Rosales 4, Nieto Ma. 3, Eustaquio 3, Ramos 2, Salandanan 0, Termoso 0, Hassan 0, Gatmaitan 0, Moreno 0, Bernardo 0.
UST 70 - Montyes 16, Luna 11, Marcelo 9, Mayor 6, Luna 6, Jison 5, Salinas 4, Santos 3, Narvasa 3, Ferrer 3, Lorenzana 2, Pascual 1, Lapena 1, Navarro 0.
QS: 27-19; 44-33; 64-49; 82-70.
- The Blue Eaglets built a comfortable cushion early on in this one and cruised to their second win in as many games behind the combined 42 points of Jolo Mendoza and Mike Nieto. Third-year shooting guard Mendoza connected on 8/15 field goals, while Big Mike padded his stat-sheet with 10 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block. On the other end, Enzo Montes led UST with 16 markers, while Francis Luna added 11 points and 8 boards off the pine. The Cubs failed to make the Final Four last season and, by the looks of it, they will probably miss the bus again this time around. The Eaglets, meanwhile, are hoping to return to the Finals and are looking for their first post-Kiefer UAAP title.

DLSZ 67 - Melecio Aljun 17, Benzon 11, Melecio Aleck 11, Webb 8, Tongco 7, Romero 7, Rabat 3, Cabarus 2, Isaac 1, Paraiso 0, Fortuna 0, Mariano 0.

- In the day’s final match, the Melecio brothers teamed up with Quinito Banzon as the De La Salle-Zobel Junior Archers shot down the Baby Falcons in style. Coach Boris Aldeguer’s boys never trailed in this one and led by as many as 14 points before Adamson mounted a last ditch rally in the final frame. The comeback fell short, however, and the Junior Archers preserved their maiden triumph of the campaign. Aljun Melecio led Zobel with an all-around line of 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 triples, and 8 assists, while older brother Aljun added 11 markers, 6 boards, and 6 dimes. Banzon, for his part, tallied 11 points as well while also netting 4 assists and 4 steals. The Baby Falcons were led by Miguel Sasuman and Fred Tungcab, who scored 14 and 11 points respectively.
December 6, 2014 Games:
ATENEO BLUE EAGLETS over FEU-FERN BABY TAMARAWS, 76-73 (OT)
AHS 76 - Nieto Ma 22, Mendoza 16, Nieto Mi 12, Ildefonso 11, Eustaquio 6, Joson 5, Mamuyac 3, Andrade 1, Ramos 0, Hassan 0, Salandanan 0, Rosales 0.
FEU-FERN 73 - Aquino 21, Bienes 14, Fajarito 14, Comboy 8, Peromingan 8, Lee 6, Longalong 2, Khatri 0, Lloren 0, Harrow, Pineda 0.
QS: 19-17, 34-26, 52-43, 65-65, 76-73
- Perhaps the Baby Tamaraws could have actuall walked away winning this one had Marvin Lee made just one more three. Lee attempted SIXTEEN threes in this game, but the trigger-happy guard connected just once from rainbow country, bringing his team’s shooting percentage down and stifling their chance at getting win #2 for the season. Instead, the Eaglets led most of the way and came up with the clutch baskets in overtime to stay unbeaten and atop the standings with a 3-0 slate. Matt Nieto was the hero of the day for Ateneo here, scoring 22 points, grabbing 9 rebounds, handing out 4 assists, and getting 1 steal, while twin brother Mike added a dozen markers, 7 boards, 4 dimes, and 3 rejections. Fellow Batang Gilas stalwart Jolo Mendoza also did well, dropping 16 points, while “Lakay Jr.” Shaun Ildefonso announced his presence in the UAAP with 11 point of his own. On the other end, coach Mike Oliver’s wards were paced by Rob Aquino who came off the bench to score 21 points, while frontliners Brandrey Bienes and Christian Fajarito each recorded double-double lines. Bienes had 14 points and 10 rebounds, while Fajarito added 14 markers and 15 caroms in the losing effort. Lee, meanwhile, shot 2/20 from the field to finish with just 6 points in 36 minutes of action.

NU BULLPUPS over DLSZ JUNIOR ARCHERS, 59-57
NU 59 - Sta. Ana 12, Dyke 11, Clemente 11, Ferreras 9, Manalang 7, Penano 6, Baltazar 2, Claveria 1, Calma 0, Atienza 0, De Guzman 0, Mina 0, Camaso 0, Callejo 0.
DLSZ 57 - Melecio Alj 24, Banzon 12, Webb 8, Fortuna 5, Rabat 4, Romero 4, Tongco 0, Paraiso 0, Melecio Ale 0, Cabarrus 0, Isaac 0.
QS: 16-10, 29-28, 42-45, 59-57
- Coach Jeff Napa’s wards barely avoided the upset axe in this one, surviving against the energetic Junior Archers to stay undefeated. NU waxed cold from long range, making just 1 of 14 trey attempts, but they compensated with their aggressiveness as they were awarded 30 free throw attempts. The Bullpups made good on just 14 charities, but it was enough make the difference as Zobel shot just one freebie all game long. Mark Dyke came away with the line of the night, registering 11 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks, while wingman Jordan Sta. Ana and John Clemente added 12 and 11 markers respectively. Aljun Melecio paced Zobel in this one, shooting 12/21 from the field to end up with 24 points, while Quinito Banzon backstopped him with a dozen.

UE 37 - Dagunan 12, Contorno 6, Garcia 6, Altamirano 6, Calizo 3, Vinte 2, Publico 2, Bautista 0, Correche 0, Morelos 0, Salta 0, Palanas 0, Cruz 0.
QS: 13-0, 28-20, 39-23, 68-37
- Adamson was merciless in this one, limiting UE to ZERO first quarter points en route to the blowout win. The Junior Warriors shot just 22.7% from the field here and had just one player score more than 6 points. UE also turned the ball over 30 times, was outrebounded, 59-51, and gave up 33 free throws. The Baby Falcons, of course, took advantage and built a lead as high as 34 points. Miguel Sasuman led Adamson with 12 points, while Paul Dagunan paced UE with a dozen of his own.
UST TIGER CUBS over UPIS JUNIOR MAROONS, 60-48
UST 60 - Jison 15, Salinas 8, Mayor 8, Luna F 6, Lorenzana 5, Marcelo 5, Balingit 5, Luna N 2, Lapena 1, Santos 0, Navarro 0, Pascual 0, Ferrer 0, Narvasa 0.
UPIS 48 - Barraquias 11, Gomez de Liano Ju 10, Barles 9, Gregorio 6, Tupaz 6, Gomez de Liano Ja 3, Labao 2, Vergiere 1, Gomez de Liano Jo 0, Lina 0, Lagahit 0, Santiago 0.
QS: 11-5, 30-22, 49-32, 60-48
- UPIS flirted ever so briefly with the lead, but they soon yielded to a superior UST side and lost their third straight game of the season. UST, meanwhile, bounced back from their loss to Ateneo this past Wednesday, leaning on the exploits of Miguel Jison, who scored 15 points and hauled down 11 rebounds off the bench. He was the only Tiger Cub in double-digits, with Adolph Salinas and Roald Mayor each dropping only 8 markers in support. Julius Barraquias and Juan Gomez de Liano led UPIS’s losing cause with 11 and 10 points respectively.
