Red Lions pull down Blue Eagles in Homegrown Cup opener

-
November 6, 2006 | 12:00am
John Paul Escobal fired 18 points while Alexander Angeles buried a crucial triple in the closing seconds as San Beda turned back Ateneo, 59-56, at the start of the Filoil-Flying V Homegrown Cup at the Philsports Arena Saturday.

Angeles’ triple in the last 57 seconds shattered the 54-all tie but Ateneo point guard Jai Reyes cut the deficit with a running shot and the Blue Eagles gained possession after a miss by Escobal.

But the Eagles turned the ball over, setting up the go-ahead play for the Red Lions.

The Eagles were without key stars Doug Kramer, JC Intal and Mark Anthony Escalona.
