CJ Isit had 19 markers while Laurenz Victoria had 15 for the Cardinals.&quot;We really needed this win for our confidence and to get our hopes for the Final Four. So this is what we&#x27;ve been looking for,&quot; said Oraeme, who was called for a technical foul for second motion after absorbing a hit in the groin from Jesper Ayaay with 1:34 left.Mapua broke open a close 69-68 game with 5:37 remaining in the payoff period with a basket from Estrella opening the game-deciding blast he capped with a highlight-reel side-step reverse layup in traffic with under a minute left in the game.The Cardinals snapped their Intramuros neighbor&#x27;s two-game winning streak was snapped to slide back to 5-6 record.Wilson Baltazar scored 17, Shaq Alanes got 11 while Paul Soliman and Ayaay posted 10 markers each for the Pirates.<div>The scores:</div>MAPUA 90 - Oraeme 27, Isit 19, Victoria 15, Estrella 12, Eriobu 8, Serrano 4, Biteng 3, Raflores 2, Aguirre 0, Bunag 0, Menina 0LPU 75 - Baltazar 17, Alanes 11, Ayaay 10, Soliman 10, Marata 9, Nzeusseu 7, Caduyac 5, Gabayni 4, Magbuhos 2, Alban 0, Malabanan 0QUARTER SCORES: 21-26, 45-42, 62-60, 90-75This article originally appeared on the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2016/08/23/estrella-shines-fourth-mapua-gets-back-winning-track-14770">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/"> ABS-CBN Sports website.</a>)
