UM Hawks claw closer to NCR elims quarterfinals

-
University of Manila notched a third straight win in the 58th National Collegiate Students Metro-Manila eliminations with a 116-94 walloping of Polytechnic University of the Philippines yesterday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Six Hawks, led by Louie Aquino and Jovit Gomez with 24 points each, scored in double figures as UM, under coach Loreto Tolentino and team manager Ernesto delos Santos, kept its splurge and moved closer to the quarterfinals of the NCR elims for the national finals set in Lucena next month.

Ryan Regalado, Ronnie Matias, Oliver Casipit and Kelvin Gregorio added 10 points or more for the three-time NAASCU champions who also scored lopsided wins over the NU Bulldogs and the JRC Heavy Bombers earlier.

PUP suffered its first loss in three outings.

In women’s play, AMACU drubbed Trinity College, 62-54, and Adamson routed PMI, 72-50.

Bonifacio Custodio erupted for 44 points but PUP still proved to be easy prey for UM.

Ahead by only three, 26-23, in the first quarter, the Hawks shifted to high gear in the second period and they pulled away, 54-39, at the half.
