It was San Beda&#x27;s 15th win in a row, and 29th since last season. Letran, meanwhile, dropped to 9-6.&quot;Well, it&#x27;s really the players who really worked hard for this,&quot; said San Beda coach Boyet Fernandez. &quot;Our defense really stepped up after they had the 8-0 run… At least naka-recover kami.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/ncaa/news/2019/10/01/eac-frustrates-perpetual-finally-go-streaking-ncaa-95-61618">READ: EAC frustrates Perpetual to finally go streaking in NCAA 95</a></li></ul>The Red Lions got off to a 17-1 start before the Knights got their groove, and headed into the break down by just 8 points, 42-34. Letran proceeded to score the first eight points of the third quarter, capped by two charities from Jerrick Balanza to knot the count at 42 with 6:21 left.San Beda responded with a furious 20-point run, sparked by a three-pointer from Clint Doliguez and fueled by the Knights&#x27; turnovers. Clint Oftana, the leading MVP candidate at the end of the first round, scored 9 points in the run, including a pair of triples.&quot;We went back to our defensive mentality, and we made some stops and we had a 20-0 run. So again, it&#x27;s the effort of the players that should be credited to day because Letran is a very strong team,&quot; said Fernandez. The Knights were able to trim the deficit to 12 points in the fourth period, but San Beda&#x27;s lead proved too much to overcome.Oftana finished with 16 points and 6 rebounds, while Doliguez had 13 points. Evan Nelle had 12 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds, without committing a single turnover in nearly 35 minutes of playing time.Letran was led by Larry Muyang&#x27;s 13 points, while King Caralipio added 13 markers. But they shot just 33.87% from the field, and their backcourt struggled as Balanza, Bonbon Batiller, and Fran Yu combined for just 13 points.This was the Knights&#x27; second loss in a row.<div>The scores:</div>SAN BEDA 75 -- Oftana 16, Doliguez 13, Nelle 12, Canlas 12, Bahio 6, Soberano 6, Tankoua 4, Carino 4, Visser 2, Abuda 0, Noah 0, Cuntapay 0.LETRAN 63 -- Muyang 13, Caralipio 11, Balanza 11, Ambohot 9, Reyson 5, Ular 4, Mina 3, Balagasay 3, Batiller 2, Pambid 2, Yu 0, Sangalang 0, Javillonar 0.Quarter scores: 24-16, 42-34, 62-42, 75-63.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
