On Monday, the CEU Scorpions Basketball Team once again triumphed in the 5th PG Flex Linoleum-Universities and Colleges Basketball League (UCBL) after a thrilling match against the University of Batangas Brahmans, 91-70, at the Paco Arena.
The team had a very slow start in the first quarter, limiting the Scorpions, 17-29, in favor of the Brahmans, but bounced back at halftime with a 4-point lead, 46-42. After the break, the squad secured their tenth win after protecting a 21-point lead.
During yesterday’s game, Jhomel Ancheta was awarded the “Best Player Of The Game,” nailing 19 points and 9 rebounds.
The next match will be on January 12 at the Paco Arena, where the Scorpions will face Diliman College.
If they win on Thursday and on the last elimination day on Monday, the team will secure its seat in the finals.
