The defense of the Cardinals forced EAC to settle with two-point shots from Gurtiza in the end game.Earlier in the game, Mapua rookie Mangubat did damage for his squad as he fired all of his points from the three-point line.But thanks to the 12-point performance of Pagsanjan and seven of Gurtiza in the second half,  EAC almost erased the 52-39 advantage of their Muralla-based counterparts.The former finished with 14 total points, while Gurtiza followed with 11. They now sit at 1-1 in the standings. The Scores:Mapua 69 – Mangubat 15, Recto 12, Escamis 10, Hubilla 9, Cuenco 6, Igliane 6, Jabonete 6, Bancale 4, Ryan 1, Agemenyi 0, Concepcion 0, Fermin 0EAC 66 – Pagsanjan 14, Gurtiza 11, Oftana 8, Loristo 6, Bagay 6, Lucero 5, Bcud 4, Doromal 4, Quinal 4, Ochavo 2, Manacho 1, De Vera 1, Umpad 0, Luciano 0, Angeles 0Quarterscores: 24-13, 39-27, 56-48, 69-66<div> </div><div> </div><div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"> </div>
