PRE-NOPSSCEA TOURNAMENT
La Salle Stingers
upset WNU Mustangs
BY NIDA A. BUENAFE & LIZA T. GAPAC
Displaying an intensity and aggressiveness previously missing in their previous games, University of St. La Salle Stingers demolished reigning NOPSSCEA men’s basketball titlist West Negros University Mustangs, 91-71, while William Jessup University from Rocklin, California, stamped their class against the hard fighting Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod Eagles, 91-75, in the Pre-NOPSSCEA Basketball Tournament last night at the WNU Gym.
The stinging blow to the Mustangs was executed by the Stingers in style with five of their players scoring in double digit at the end of the game.
La Salle took the first quarter with a 10-point lead at 23-10 with Lhoy Miraflores, who finished with 13 points, asserting his presence inside the paint to get away with nine points.

Missing the services of its five key players – Toffel Tan, Carlo Chiu, BJ Javellona, Caesar Noble and Ashley Maximo, Redhouse valiantly tried to keep the game close but simply failed to keep up with Chromic131 in the end. The tough stance put up by Redhouse drew sympathetic remarks from spectators, among them was tournament commissioner Tisoy Escote who commented that Chromic131 would have some difficulty beating Redhouse if the latter’s key players showed up. |
