CEU, DLSZ sustain WNC caging romp

MANILA, Philippines – Five-time senior defending champion Centro Escolar University moved one win away from an elimination-round sweep while De La Salle Zobel zeroed in on sixth straight midgets crown in the 47th WNCAA basketball tournament.

CEU routed San Beda College Alabang, 71-29, last Sunday at St. Scholastica’s College gym to remain unscathed in five games. The Scorpions go for the sweep and a twice-to-beat edge in the Final Four against St. Scholastica this Sunday at host St. Jude Catholic School gym.

In the midgets division, DLSZ bested Poveda, 41-23, and St. Paul College Pasig nipped Miriam College, 38-37, to set up a best-of-three finals clash next week. DLSZ beat St. Paul in last season’s championship.

The junior quarterfinal cast is led by defending champion Chiang Kai Shek College and DLSZ which swept Groups A and B, respectively.
