BAGO CITY – West Negros College snapped a string of heart-breaks in sterling fashion, ruling the NOFA Men's Under-19 Provincial Championship for the seventh straight year here yesterday

The Wesnecans had their way against rival University of St. La Salle , earning a 5-0 victory, thanks to a double from skipper Mark Ferrer who also assisted on goals by Joven Bedic and Vince Braga at the Manuel Torres Sports Center pitch.

Their dominance, however, was hardly reflected in the scoreline and, if not for the bar, which denied them seven times, they would have easily breached the 10-goal mark.

Deno Soriano kept his nerve from the free throw line and conjured a late defensive gem as Talisay Basketball Club's narrowly escaped Province of Negros Occidental, 90-89, yesterday at the start of the 8 th Tan Kek Pin Memorial Basketball Cup at the Po Hang Gym.

The former Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod Eagle went 8-of-10 from the stripe in the final quarter, before foiling Jessimar Gabihan's last-second jumper to give Talisay the head-start in the class A division.

There was little between the two teams and even until Soriano's split from the charity line that pegged the final score and his defensive heroics, the game could have gone either way.
