Cup at the San Juan Arena.

Roundup:
In the first game, Thirdy Ravena
led Ateneo’s domination of the UPHSD Junior Altas, 99-55. Ravena put up 21
points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 assist in a sublime display of
skill and athleticism. He is touted to be the leading candidate for the UAAP
Juniors MVP plum this season while also tagged as the leader of an Eaglets
squad hungry for redemption after a two-season title drought. Backcourt mates
Jolo Mendoza and Mat Nieto also did well with 13 and 12 points respectively.
Nobody scored more than 7 points for the hapless Junior Altas.
The second game saw the CEU Lady
Scorpions break a tight match open in the fourth quarter in order to beat the
Ateneo Lady Eagles, 60-46. CEU limited Ateneo to only 6 points in the final
frame while scoring 16 of their own. The Lady Scorpions were led by Ybur
Mendoza’s 18 points and 4 assists, while Cheskie Tantoco paced the Lady Eagles
with 10 points and 4 rebounds.

In the third game, Don Trollano
displayed the ice in his veins when he canned two critical freebies in the
dying seconds of Adamson’s big opening win over FEU, 68-67. New African big man
Ingrid Sewa had an auspicious debut for the Soaring Falcons, scoring 12 points
and grabbing 8 rebounds, while new team leaders Rodney Brondial and Jericho
Cruz contributed 10 markers apiece. Not surprisingly, Terrence Romeo led the
Tamaraws with 21 points on 8-of-16 FG shooting. He was backstopped by 11 points
and 7 boards from Anthony Hargrove.

The fourth game featured a scary
DLSU Green Archers unit just running roughshod over the winless SWU Cobras,
98-61. Coach Gee Abanilla’s Greenies shot a red-hot 57% from the field,
including 8-of-14 from beyond the arc, with Almond Vosotros’s 7-of-9 clip
leading the way. The former Staglet ended up with 17 points on top of 5 assists
and 4 rebounds. Big men Norbert Torres and Jason Perkins also continued to do
well, pairing up for 28 points, 9 boards, and 5 dimes in an imposing show of
force. High-flying sophomore Gabby Reyes also brimmed with confidence, tossing
in 10 markers together with 6 caroms. Monbert Arong scored 13 points to lead
the Cobras, who fell to 0-3.

The last match of the day saw
Ateneo falter in the second half and absorb its first defeat of the tourney at
the hands of UST, 63-57. Once again, Aljon Mariano led the Tigers with 19
points and 5 rebounds, while Karimi Abdul took full advantage of the Eagles’
thin frontline, scoring 14 points and hauling down 11 boards. Lanky swingman
Kevin Ferrer also did well, contributing 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting. The Tigers
played without coach Pido Jarencio for the second straight game as the bemedaled
mentor is reportedly in sick bay. Unlike in their previous match, the Eagles
struggled with rebounding here even with newcomer Chris Newsome registering an
impressive double-double line – 14 points and 12 rebounds. Once again,
third-year standout Von Pessumal scored heavily, finishing with 15 points on
5-of-10 FG shooting, while Kiefer Ravena struggled with UST’s aggressive on-ball
defense, making just 3-of-18 shots from the floor.
