We have to stick to the team concept.&quot;Mendoza exploded for 22 points -- 13 of which came in the fourth quarter -- as he made 7 of his 13 shots including 5-of-9 triples. Kriss Gurtiza played through a knee strain to score 13 points, while JP Maguliano just missed a double-double with 11 points and 9 rebounds. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2019/10/01/red-cubs-claw-squires-claim-top-seed-ncaa-95-final-four-61617">READ: Red Cubs claw Squires, claim top seed in NCAA 95 Final Four</a></li></ul>EAC trailed by as much as 14 points in the first quarter, and were down 24-13 after the opening frame. But they steadily clawed away at the deficit, and were down by just a point, 55-54, heading into the payoff period. The Altas looked as though they were going to break the game open after scoring seven unanswered points, but Mendoza began to wax hot for the Generals.His three-pointer sparked an 11-3 run that tied the game at 65, before Jielo Razon&#x27;s lay-up gave the Altas back the lead, 67-65, with 4:54 to go. It turned out to be the last time that they got the lead, as Mendoza drilled another three-pointer to give EAC the advantage for good, 68-67.Marwin Taywan added a lay-up, and Mendoza drilled another jumper for a 72-67 lead with 3:21 left. Shots by Rey Peralta and Razon kept the Altas in the game, but Mendoza and Taywan responded with buckets of their own to keep the Generals in control. Peralta led the Altas with 21 points, while Edgar Charcos had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Perpetual Help dropped to 3-10 in Season 95. <div>The scores:</div>EAC 80 - Mendoza 22, Gurtiza 13, Maguliano 11, Luciano 9, Taywan 7, Martin 7, De Guzman 6, Gonzales 4, Boffa 1, Cadua 0, Corilla 0, Dayrit 0, Carlos 0, Estacio 0PERPETUAL 76 - Peralta 21, Charcos 14, Aurin 12, Razon 11, Adamos 8, Giussani 5, Cuevas 3, Martel 2, Labarda 0, Tamayo 0Quarter scores: 13-24, 35-39, 54-55, 80-76For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
