CEBU, Philippines - Victory Global Cebu outpointed Vicsal Development Corp. in overtime, 109-100, as Philippine Spring Water Resources, Inc. drowned 88th Floor Gifts, Inc., 91-66, in HoopStars 2013 Corporate League at J Centre Mall last Monday night.
Dioannie “Jan†Gumera provided the tempo for the Albert Surplus franchise, scoring 23 points that helped contain the third quarter surge of the Viscal team that carried the flag of Metro, the department store.

With De la Cerna out of the game on fouls and even if the team reported with only seven players, Gumera exploded with seven points during the extension that negated the 44-point production of Marb Iñigo and the 23 points from Villahermosa for Vicsal-Metro.

Bacalso aided Francis Paracuelles in scoring 14 points and Neil Garcia who added 12 that wasted the 18 points Philbert Borces contributed for 88th Floor and the 14 points JR Guardiano had also produced. (FREEMAN)
