KalosPh-Our Lady Of Fatima wielded the ax on erstwhile unbeaten MPAMS-San Mateo,88-74, while Calaguas Gems-Camarines Norte picked up its second outplaying ARS Warriors-Cavite, 71-64, in the inaugural Ballout Hoops Luzon Open Challenge at the University of Makati.
Andrei Romero and Marvel Joy Jimenez comprised the explosive duo of Our Lady of Fatima as they combined for 46 points, more than half of the rest of the squad.
Romero and Jimenez’s firepower gave the Saints a double barrel headache as the Phoenix improved their win-loss record to 3-2 in this tournament sponsored by One4BF, MDC, KalosPh, Chachago, Motolite, Details Avenue, Snazzy, Mighty Sports Apparel, Mt. Fuji Restaurant, Disenyo Footwear and Lana 300.
OLFU dealt San Mateo its first loss in five games, which means University of Makati will move up to the solo lead of the team standings with a 3-0 win-loss record. The Herons are the only undefeated them in the Luzon-wide tournament headed by coaching legend Joe Lipa, who serves as the commissioner.
Calaguas Gems-Camarines Norte, which previously notched its first victory after winning over Our Lady of Fatima last time around, made it back-to-back after nipping ARS Warriors-Cavite.
Kinjhevam Manzanilla turned out to be a revelation as the well-built shooting forward knocked in 21 points, including four triples.
Also winning was AMA University QC, which scored a repeat win over Philippine Navy, 86-71.
