MANILA, Philippines -- If the Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws want to see consistency, they won't have to look further than Wendell Comboy whose end-to-end efforts proved to be crucial in clinching back-to-back wins.

The hot hand of the Tamaraws' fourth-year guard, paired with his lockdown defense, earned him the recognition as the Chooks-to-Go Collegiate Press Corps UAAP Player of the Week.

In FEU’s bounce-back effort against the National University Bulldogs last Wednesday, Comboy topped the scoring column with 18 points, going 7-of-12 from the field.

He continued his momentum four days later in the cardiac game against then-undefeated Adamson University by scoring 13 points to help the Tamaraws edge out Franz Pumaren’s squad in overtime.

In the dying seconds of the thriller, the 6-0 Comboy even came up with a huge block on 6-foot-5 Sean Manganti that sealed the deal on FEU's stoppage of the Falcons' unbeaten start.

“Pero 'yun 'yung talagang nagbibigay sa akin ng playing time,” said Comboy about his defensive contributions to the team.

“Sabi nga ni Coach Olsen [Racela] na dumepensa muna ako at saka dadating 'yung opensa ko. Bonus na lang 'yun.”

Comboy edged out University of Santo Tomas’ CJ Cansino, Ateneo de Manila University’s Angelo Kouame, and University of the Philippines' Bright Akhuetie for the weekly award given by scribes from print and online covering the league.
