The Red Lions shock troopers set the tone for the romp as Gab Cometa, Justine Sanchez, and Winston Ynot led the first half bench assault to break the game wide open and cruise to their fifth win in as many games.

Coming off a one-week break, San Beda used a balanced scoring with seven players finishing with at least eight points led by James Kwekuteye who had 14 points.

Cometa also added 11 while Ynot and Ralph Penuela had nine points apiece to lead the Red Lions’ bench players who were accountable for 35 of their 47 first half points.

San Beda, after trailing for the majority of the opening frame, also took advantage of the absence of Justin Arana who was forced to sit out the entire second quarter after committing three early fouls.

The Red Lions then unloaded a huge 15-4 run capped by a JV Gallego trey to build a 32-19 lead midway through the second frame.

“I’m so happy because every game, we need to get that dub and thank God the bench stepped up today, Gab, Tony, Justine Sanchez, everyone stepped up. Thank God that they did and we came up with the W,” said Kwekuteye who gave San Beda its biggest lead at 22, 64-42, midway through the third frame.

Arellano, however, refused to go down without a fight as it embarked to an 8-2 finishing kick to inch close 66-50 heading to the final frame.

Arana and Kalen Doromal then carried the fight for the Chiefs at the start of the payoff period to come within 11, 70-59, following an and-1 play from Troy Valencia.

San Beda retaliated with back-to-back baskets from Kwekuteye before Peter Alfaro sank a floater with 4:13 left in the game to douse the Arellano run.

Doromal finished with 16 points while Raymart Sablan contributed 10 markers for Arellano.

Arana, who was hampered by foul trouble and double-team schemes from the Red Lions, struggled to make an impact with just seven points on a 3-of-7 shooting from the field as the Chiefs slid down to a 2-4 record in the standings.

The Scores:

SAN BEDA 82 -- Kwekuteye 14, Cometa 11, Penuela 9, Ynot 9, Bahio 8, Amsali 8, Sanchez 8, Cuntapay 6, Alfaro 4, Gallego 3, Visser 2, Villejo 0, Abuda 0, Andrada 0, Jopia 0.

ARELLANO 68 -- Doromal 16, Sablan 10, Valencia 9, Cruz 8, Arana 7, Concepcion 7, Steinl 4, Sta. Ana 3, Abastillas 2, Caballero 2, Oliva 0.

Quarters: 17-15, 47-32, 66-52, 82-68.
