Dragons notch 5th win, Engineers break through

MANILA, Philippines — Defending champion Diliman College cruised to its fifth straight win while Technological Institute of the Philippines nailed its first victory in the PG Flex Linoleum-Universities and Colleges Basketball League yesterday at the Olivarez College gym in Parañaque City.

The Diliman Blue Dragons kept their unblemished record by dumping Centro Escolar University, 90-62, while the TIP Engineers rode on a torrid third-quarter assault to beat the National College of Business and Arts Wildcats, 88-69.

Only six players played for CEU but Diliman needed a strong third quarter, outscoring the Scorpions, 28-2, to pull away for good.
