SAN LEONARDO, Nueva Ecija — Nueva Ecija and Manila scored hard-earned wins against separate foes to get back on track Thursday in the Pilipinas Super League Pro Division Second Conference Dumper Cup before a jampacked Nagaño Gym here.
Jordan Ingel scored 18 points and Jerick Nakpil added 16 points, six rebounds, and four assists as the Slashers held off Cagayan de Oro-PSP, 79-72, for their second win.
Jeremy Ingusan and Daniel De Guzman had nine and eight points, respectively for the home team which redeemed itself from an 86-102 loss to Sta. Rosa Laguna last Dec. 1 and improved to 2-2.
The loss kept Cagayan de Oro winless in four outings, counting an 87-92 defeat to San Pedro Laguna last Saturday.
Dariel Bayla’s 19-point and 11-rebound effort went for naught for Cagayan de Oro, while Ian Yutuc and Jamil Ortuoste got 15 and 13, respectively.
The Citystars edged Bicol, 95-90, for their second triumph.
Manila drew strength from Kyles Neypes who banged in 23 points and eight caroms, while Rence Alcoriza chipped in 17 markers and five rebounds
Levi Hernandez and Wowie Escosio also combined for 30 points for Manila, which atoned for an 80-87 setback to Boracay last Saturday for a 2-2 card.
