Defending champion West Negros University Mustangs finally subdued the gritty University of St. La Salle Stingers, 82-77, in their semifinals playoff last night to move closer to its 14th straight title in NOPSSCEA men’s basketball at the WNU Gym.

Standing in between the Mustangs and the championship trophy are the Rams of University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos.

Both teams will dispute the crown in the best-of-three finals at the WNU Gym starting tomorrow, after the 4 p.m. battle for third place between the Stingers and the Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod Eagles.
