Francis Lopez grateful for opportunity to play in UAAP

After being cleared to start his collegiate career, Francis Lopez balled out in his first-ever UAAP game.

Aside from his five markers that included a thunderous dunk early in the game, the 6-foot-6, Filipino-Angolan grabbed 13 boards, dished out three assists, while also tallying an assist and a block.

“I’m happy about the team, and about my performance, that’s beside the point. But right now, we got the first W, and hopefully, we get this W even more in our upcoming games,” he said post-game. “I’m not gonna say anything about any personal goals. When it comes to games, you gotta do anything that you gotta do to help the team,” he said.

“I’m really thankful about it. I’ll have another opportunity to build up my name. Hopefully, I can do that, but you know, I’m just happy that I’m able to play in this [university], sa UP, and I wanna thank everybody who helped me and gave this opportunity to play in the UAAP,” he said.
