Puno leading Lions’ attack
Jomel Puno, a Filipino-Canadian forward, has been named the Collegiate Press Corps NCAA Player of the Week for October 1-5, leading San Beda University's charge in Season 100.
Puno's increased aggressiveness, encouraged by his coaches, was instrumental in San Beda's crucial 2-0 record last week.
He delivered a career-high 22 points and 10 rebounds in a thrilling 66-64 victory against rival Colegio de San Juan de Letran.
Puno followed this performance with 19 points in a narrow 63-62 win over the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA.
With averages of 19 points, nine rebounds, and 1.5 assists, Puno was feted by the Collegiate Press Corps backed by the Philippine Sports Commission.
Puno himself acknowledged a shift in his mindset, stating he felt too laid back as a supporter in previous seasons and needed to do more for his team's championship bid.
