Mustangs avenge
loss to Rams, 80-72

The West Negros University Mustangs re-asserted their dominance in the local collegiate basketball scene with an emphatic 80-72 against the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos Rams as the second round of the NOPSSCEA men’s basketball competition started last night at the CSA-B Gym.

With the win, the Mustangs effectively avenged their 106-103 double overtime loss to the Rams and got back on track of their bid for a 14th straight basketball title in the NOPSSCEA.

In taming the Rams, head coach Troy Sarabia gave credits to his players, especially big men Rashmor Catalino and Errol Doromal, who were seemingly unstoppable at low post.
