Lahat kayang mag step up diyan. Nag step up din si Pagulayan [in the clutch], and &#x27;di rin ako na-surprise sa kanya kasi kayang-kaya niya gawin yun. Yung the rest of the boys, kayang gawin din yun,&quot; he said.Cleopas was pointing out to Pagulayan&#x27;s crucial three-pointers as when LSGH cut Perpetual&#x27;s 12-point lead to seven late in the fourth, the latter drained two crucial triples to extend their lead to 13, 83-70, at the 1:39 mark.Baskets from Andre Bautista and Ram Sharma trimmed the LSGH deficit to single digits, 83-76, with 53 ticks remaining in the game but it was too late for head coach Renren Ritualo&#x27;s troops as they remained winless in two games.Guillian Quines led the Greenies with 21 markers, four rebounds, and an assist, but one main department that also factored in their defeat was the 22 errors that they committed in comparison to UPHSD&#x27;s 15. In the curtain raiser, San Beda dominated MGC New Life Christian Academy by scoring the NGBL&#x27;s tournament-high so far in a 103-43 drubbing.The Red Cubs successfully bounced back from their previous defeat against Far Eastern University-Diliman last Sunday and improved to 2-1 in Group B, and proving vital in their triumph was the Mendiola-based club&#x27;s rousing 34-8 start.Leading San Beda was Laurence Batongbakal who had 17 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and four steals, while backstopping him were Rafael Bautista and Benedict Agbayani who had 14 and 13, respectively.However, SBU head coach Miko Roldan still wants to see more from his players as they continue their buildup for NCAA Season 100.&quot;Happy naman ako, kaso lang nag-set kami ng goal sa defensive side eh. &#x27;Di namin sila na limit doon sa numbers na gusto namin, so may parusa pa rin sila sa Monday sa akin,&quot; he quipped of the Red Cubs who even led by as much as 61.On the other hand, MGC, which even had one quarter in the game wherein they produced single digits in scoring — 17 in the second — leaned on Trey William Chua and Adam Keith Uy who each scored 16.Meanwhile, Mapua University also remained unbeaten in two games after it dominated Xavier School 98-69 to close out the game day, the first of three straight for NGBL in this long four-day weekend.Yuri Duque led Mapua with 14 points and six assists, while helping him were Froilan Reyes, Ruzzel Del Poso, and Noah Banal who each scored 11. After a relatively close encounter in the first half where Xavier tallied a surprise 28-15 outscoring of MU in the second quarter, the Red Robins shifted to a higher gear in the third and ran away from their counterparts, 34-10.This eventually resulted in the Intramuros-based team leading by as much as 36 later in the contest, and this advantage was all that Mapua needed to keep Xavier without a win in two games. Leading Willy Wilson&#x27;s Xavier team was Andrew Choa who had 21 points, five rebounds, and two steals, and backing him up were Gavin Riley Uy and Andrew Chio who had 18 and nine, respectively. <div>The scores:</div><div>First Game: </div>San Beda 103 — Batongbakal 17, Bautista 14, Agbayani 13, Benedict 8, Medroso 7, San Juan 7, Lago 7, Reroma 7, Jomalesa 7, Feliciano 5, Garcia 4, Winters 2, Mondigo 2, Villanueva 2, Valenzuela 1.MGCNLCA 43 — Uy 16, A.
