BY CEDELF TUPAS

QUEZON CITY --- Ateneo closed the first three quarters with aplomb to pummel San Sebastian College, 78-51, yesterday for a place in the last eight of the National Collegiate Champions League at the Blue Eagle Gym here.

The Blue Eagles turned up the pressure just when the Stags were slowing down in the late stages, capping the first three frames with bristling runs to forge a quarterfinal showdown with the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers on Nov. 21.

The Bombers advanced after beating West Negros College, 83-61, Tuesday.
