Red Lions escape to victory
San Beda Lions secured the solo Group B lead in NCAA Season 101 with a 79-70 victory over the Mapua Cardinals at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.
The Lions established a significant 13-point lead by halftime, which allowed them to withstand a strong comeback attempt by the Cardinals in the third quarter.
Despite a lapse in concentration in the third period where they allowed Mapua 24 points, San Beda managed to regain their composure and secure the win.
San Beda coach Yuri Escueta expressed dissatisfaction with the team's third-quarter performance and their rare loss in rebounding, as Mapua narrowly outrebounded them.
The win marked San Beda's fourth victory in five games, strengthening their position in the standings.
