Photo by Angela Davocol/NCAA Philippines. MANILA — College of Saint Benilde thwarted Mapua University in the NCAA’s return to the Rizal Memorial Coliseum through a 75-65 win in Season 101 men’s basketball on Tuesday.</div>The Blazers went victorious in the Season 100 Finals rematch all thanks to Tony Ynot’s 25 points, eight rebounds, and three assists, leading the Taft-based cagers to their sixth win in nine games.“Always, against Mapua, you need to bring your A-game,” said Benilde coach Charles Tiu, whose squad avoided squandering their hot 18-to-zero surge to start the ball game.“Last year, we weren’t able to perform the way we like in the Finals, so we reminded ourselves of that today,” he added as they created a much-needed separation over the 5-4 Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Group B.And this was the case indeed, as Allen Liwag also provided might with a 12-point, 12-rebound outing with two rejections before he prematurely exited the game in the second half due to an apparent left shoulder injury.Fortunately for Benilde, Ynot delivered just in time to extinguish the fight back of the Cardinals, as the senior guard made an important and-one in the final canto for a 67-61 lead just as Mapua cut their deficit to three.Josh Cajucom and Ian Torres then went on to seal the win from the foul line.Not helping the Cardinals’ cause was their abysmal 1-of-16 shooting from the field in the last canto.Marc Cuenco and EJ Sapasap scored 14 and 13 markers, while Clint Escamis struggled with only 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field as they fell to their fifth loss in nine games in Group A. <div style="line-height:1.5"> </div><div style="line-height:1.5">The Scores:</div>Benilde 75 - Ynot 25, Liwag 12, Cajucom 8, Sanchez 6, Moore 6, Morales 4, Eusebio 4, Torres 3, Umali 3, Celis 2, Cometa 2, Oli 0, Ancheta 0.Mapua 65 - Cuenco 14, Sapasap 13, Escamis 11, Concepcion 9, Gonzales 8, Nitura 7, Reyes 4, Igliane 0, Gulapa 0, Recto 0, Ryan 0, Lazarte 0, Callangan 0.Quarterscores: 30-19, 48-36, 64-58, 75-65.
