Saints roll on, Warriors bounce back

MANILA, Philippines — St. Clare College-Caloocan notched its second straight win by downing Centro Escolar University Team B, 72-63, in the PG Flex Linoleum-UCBL Invitational Tournament Tuesday at the SGS Gym in Quezon City.

Their confidence buoyed by a stunning 83-77 win over the University of the East Warriors last week, the Saints dominated the Scorpions in the first three quarters before fending off CEU’s torrid comeback to hike their record to 2-1 in the seven-team pre-season tournament.

The defeat was a disappointing one for the Scorpions who came into game in high spirits following their impressive 85-78 debut win over the Olivarez College Sea Lions last Friday.

UE rebounded from its defeat to St. Clare by clobbering Philippine Women’s University, 95-74.
