Photo from NCAA Philippines.</div>MANILA — Arellano University has ended the NCAA Season 100 men&#x27;s basketball Final 4 aspirations of Colegio de San Juan de Letran.Already out of playoff contention, the Chiefs leaned on their defense to eliminate the Knights as well through a close 67-65 victory, Wednesday afternoon at the San Juan Arena. JL Capulong led the Chiefs with 13 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and two steals, but it was Greg Borromeo who was hailed as the player of the game due to his defense on Letran star Jimboy Estrada.Borromeo only had four points, five rebounds, and a steal, but he limited Estrada to 10 points on 5-of-15 shooting while also forcing him to commit seven costly turnovers.Coming back from a 42–28 deficit, the Chiefs saw themselves up 63-56 midway through the fourth mainly due to their defensive efforts, as well as the contributions of Mav Vinoya (8 points) and Basti Valencia (8 points).The Knights managed to regain control, 65-64, with Kobe Monje going perfect from the line down the stretch, but that was their last bucket from that point on.Valencia&#x27;s follow-up at the 16-second mark put them back ahead, while Capulong&#x27;s split from the line with only three seconds remaining extended their lead to two, 67-65.The Knights had another chance to win the game, but Nat Montecillo missed his triple at the buzzer.Monje, who played his last game for Letran, had a career game with 24 points on top of three rebounds, an assist, and a steal, while his fellow graduating player Pao Javillonar finished with 11. Both players won championships with Letran in their three-peat from Season 95 to 98.Unfortunately, Letran committed 21 turnovers, and this resulted in their demise in Season 100. They ended the year with an 8-10 record, still an improvement from their 2-16 disastrous Season 99 performance. <div>THE SCORES:</div>Arellano 67 – Capulong 13, Vinoya 9, Valencia 8, Camay 7, Hernal 7, Geronimo 6, De Leon 4, Borroneo 4, Libang 4, Abiera 3, Miller 2, Ongotan 0, Flores 0.Letran 65 – Monje 24, Montecillo 11, Javillonar 11, Estrada 10, Miller 5, Santos 2, Nunag 2, Cuajao 0, Jumao-As 0, Dimaano 0.Quarterscores: 17-16, 28-40, 51-54, 67-65.
