Buoyed by their torrid outside shooting and pressure defense in the second half, LCCM recovered from a slow first half to turn back National University. Gab Latoreno poured in 14 points, while Thurlough Grealy and Julian Calanay scored 13 and 12 respectively for La Consolacion, who got their first win in the Seniors B Division.
