James Tempra and Patrick Sleat got 12 markers each for the Morayta-based squad who will be facing CSB in the quarters at 5:00 PM. The Knights, on the other hand, were led by veteran guard Kurt Reyson who finished with 20 points, nine assists, and eight boards, while incoming second-year big man Kevin Santos produced a 19-point, 15-rebound game while also adding three rejections. This is the second loss of Letran after winning their first two games, and they will be facing Corsa Tires in the quarters at 7:00 PM.
