Kurt Reyson, Louie Sangalang take charge as Letran beats St. Benilde

Published Nov 5, 2022 06:32 pm

Kurt Reyson and Louie Sangalang took care of business down the stretch as Letran had the last laugh and beat College of St. Benilde, 74-66, in the second round of the NCAA Season 98 men's basketball tournament Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.

A huge turnaround in the final minute enabled the Knights to make their last wave of assault behind the joint efforts of Reyson, Sangalang, and Fran Yu after battling for the lead multiple times all throughout the match.

Sangalang led Letran with 21 points and nine rebounds while Reyson had 14 points on top of five rebounds.

Trailing by a point only, 63-62, Reyson sparked the Knights' 10-0 run with a crucial three-pointer on top of the key -- but missed a potential four-point play -- before Sangalang followed suit with an and-one play of his own.

Brent Paraiso also pulled a key defensive stop as he blocked Robi Nayve's three-pointer with 23.4 seconds left before Yu, who finished with five points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds, sank two free throws.

Reyson completed that spurt with a pair of free throws, 72-63, following Will Gozum's missed triple earlier which virtually secured the victory for the Knights, who took a firm grim of the top spot of the leaderboard with an 11-3 record.

James Pasturan sank a triple with 10.8 ticks left but the lead was too much to overcome for the Blazers at that point as Reyson drilled two free throws anew to ice the game.

Rafael Go and Paolo Javillonar also added nine and eight points respectively and grabbed three rebounds apiece.

Miggy Corteza paced the Blazers, who sustained a 9-3 slate and maintained their No. 2 spot, with 14 points and three rebounds while Gozum delivered 12 points and 13 rebounds.

Pasturan chalked up 11 points and three rebounds while JC Cullar had 10 points and five points.

The Scores:

LETRAN 74 -- Sangalang 21, Reyson 16, Go 9, Javillonar 8, Paraiso 7, Yu 5, Caralipio 4, Olivario 2, Monje 2, Tolentino 2, Santos 0.

CSB 66 -- Corteza 14, Gozum 12, Pasturan 11, Cullar 10, Nayve 8, Oczon 4, Lepalam 3, Sangco 2, Carlos 2, Marcos 0, Flores 0, Sumabat 0, Dimayuga 0.

Quarters: 20-19, 41-36, 50-51, 74-66.
