THE SAN SEBASTIAN Stags notched their third straight win with a 92-72 rout of the St. Benilde Blazers in the 88th NCAA men’s basketball tournament yesterday at the Arena in San Juan City.
Their first meeting, a match that the Stags won by just two points, was a far cry from this match as the “Pinatubo Trio” of Calvin Abueva, Ian Sangalang and Ronald Pascual exploded for more than half of the team’s output. Reunited for the first time since Abueva was suspended for a game, the trio from Pampanga scored 57 points and collared 32 rebounds.
Sangalang and Pascual had 20 points each while Abueva added 17.
The Stags remain in the second spot with a 10-3 (win-loss) record while the Blazers fell to 4-9. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
