UC cruises to fifth straight win

- Gabby G. Malagar -

CEBU, Philippines - The undefeated University of Cebu (UC) Webmasters pummeled the Don Bosco Technology Center (DBTC) Greywolves, 102-85, for their fifth straight win in as many starts in the 9th Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) season at the Cebu Coliseum.

The Webmasters were somehow experimenting in the first half as coach Roel Gomez fielded in his second stringers and seldom-used crew. As a result, they were down by as much as 15 points, 27-42, in the second period.

However, the Webmasters unleashed their true firepower after the short break, with 6-foot-9 beanpole June Mar Fajardo unloading 20 of his 22 points bridging the third and fourth periods.

Sensing that their four-game roll was at stake, Fajardo and the Webmasters put their acts together to come up with an amazing comeback and eventually grab the lead, 60-58, on Moncrief Rogado’s jumper with 3:40 left to play in the third canto.

UC led by as much as 26 points, 100-74, entering the final two-minute zone of the contest. The rest, they say, was history as the Webmasters smoothly cruised to their best ever 5-0 start in the nine-year old league.

Janssen Abella stepped up for the first time scoring 18 points spiked with five triples, while Kim Arvin Gomez nailed all his 12 markers from beyond the arc. Rogado and Rommel Luceño each scored 11 points underscoring UC’s balanced offensive.

Celso Colegado Jr. and Jefford Aldave had 17 and 16 points, respectively, for the Greywolves, who crashed to their third consecutive loss.
