MANILA, Philippines: Letran made sure to deliver the coup de grace as it repulsed University of Perpetual Help, 93-76, on Saturday to complete a back-to-back title reign in NCAA Season 99 junior basketball at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.
June Silorio bounced back from his nightmarish Game Two effort when he missed a pair of crucial charities that would have sealed the deal had he made both and delivered a performance to remember with 27 points, six assists and five rebounds.That magnificent effort by the proud son of Marbel helped power the Squires to a second straight crown and 14th overall, the third most in the grand old league behind San Beda's 23 and Mapua's 20.
'This is so sweet to us kasi wala nag eexpect samin papasok sa Final Four and go to the championship,' said Ricardo, who thanked the Letran community and all their supports including patrons Frank and Jacob Lao of Strong Group Athletics.'Sabi ko lang sa mga bata trabahuhin lang natin para wala tayo regrets,' he added.
