De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde continued its mastery of San Beda University, cruising to a lopsided 79-63 victory to clinch a finals spot in the NCAA Season 100 on Saturday at the Cuneta Astrodome.
The Blazers, who swept the Red Lions in the elimination round, thus arranged a championship date against top-seeded Mapua University as both schools will meet in the NCAA finals for the first time ever.It will also mark the first time since Season 85 that the championship trophy won't be going to either San Beda or Colegio de San Juan de Letran ,and the first time since Season 80 that both the Red Lions and the Knights aren't in the finals.
The Taft crew turned a 53-27 halftime lead to as much as 30 in the third after an Anton Eusebio triple to send the Blazers to a 70-40 lead. The defending champions tried to mount a rally behind rookie JC Bonzalida and transferee Penny Estacio, who both fueled a 12-0 rampage in the dying moments but those were not enough to pump life back to the Red Lions.
