La
Salle cagers yield
reg'l crown to Ateneo
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN
University of St. La Salle finished second after losing to Ateneo de Iloilo University in the passerelle finals of the Milo Best Center regional basketball tournament at the Iloilo Sports Complex over the weekend.
With the setback, USLS failed to defend its crown and will not be able to advance to the national finals where it placed runner-up last year against a towering De La Salle-Greenhills squad in Silay City.
The Troy Sarabia-mentored Baby Stingers actually had
the upperhand going into the finals by defeating the Blue Eaglets in
the elimination round after bowing to University of San Carlos. Ateneo
earned the other championship berth after winning against the Cebu-based
USC dribblers and prevailing in the quotient system.
