Josh Albelda, <a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/basketball/photos">ABS-CBN Sports</a></figcaption></figure></div>MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATED) Defending champion San Beda University had little trouble in dismissing Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC), 61-46, in the NCAA Season 94 men&#x27;s basketball tournament on Tuesday at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan.The Red Lions broke the game open in the third quarter to eventually pull away for their third straight victory of the season.San Beda has now beaten EAC in 19 consecutive games, since the Generals entered the league in 2009. EAC&#x27;s 46 points was also the lowest output of any team so far in Season 94.Playing less than 30 minutes, Robert Bolick scored 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting while adding six assists. Every player fielded in by coach Boyet Fernandez – who celebrated his birthday on Monday – scored at least one point.&quot;It&#x27;s our defense that really stepped up today. We know that EAC is a good third-quarter team, and we limited them to eight points. So it&#x27;s really our defense that made a difference tonight,&quot; said Fernandez.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2018/07/31/ncaa-cardinals-take-flight-expense-chiefs-45127">READ: Cardinals take flight again at expense of Chiefs</a></li></ul>After leading by just seven points, 32-25, at the half, the Red Lions limited the Generals to just eight points in the third quarter while scoring 17 of their own to surge ahead, 49-33, heading into the payoff period.It was a team effort for the Red Lions, with Donald Tankoua, Bolick, and Javee Mocon all doing damage in the pivotal third frame.They ent on to lead by 21 points, 60-39, with 3:27 left off two charities by Tankoua, before the Generals made a late run to make the final score a little more respectable.Tankoua finished with nine points and 10 boards, as the Red Lions claimed a 41-33 advantage on the boards. Hamadou Laminou, one of the leading rebounders in the league, only had two rebounds.Rustan Bugarin led EAC with 10 points, and Laminou scored nine points. But the Generals had more turnovers (29) than made field goals (18), and they dropped to 0-4 in the tournament.Indeed, the final score could have been more lopsided if San Beda performed better at the free throw line. The Red Lions made only 11 of 23 charities, with Mocon at one point missing three straight free throws.Still, Fernandez was glad to have received a fitting birthday present from his players.&quot;The boys really stepped up today,&quot; said the coach. &quot;Hopefully we can carry this win and the way we played tonight to our next game.&quot;<div>The scores:</div>San Beda 61 – Bolick 15, Tankoua 9, Canlas 8, Doliguez 7, Mocon 5, Tongco 4, Eugene 4, Nelle 3, Carino 3, Oftana 2, Cuntapay 1EAC 46 – Bugarin 10, Laminou 9, Mendoza 6, Bautista 4, Garcia 4, Robin 3, Cruz 2, Gonzales 2, Diego 2, Tampoc 2, Neri 2, Natividad 0, Cadua 0, Fuentes 0Quarter scores: 13-14, 32-25, 49-33, 61-46For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
