MANILA — Mapua University continues its stellar play in the first round of the NCAA Season 99 Men's Basketball Tournament.
Team captain Warren Bonifacio and Clint Escamis made wonders for the Intramuros-based squad, with the big man delivering a solid 14-point, 10-rebound performance to go along with two assists, a steal, and a block. The recent Collegiate Press Corps Player of the Week awardee, meanwhile, posted an all-around performance of nine markers, nine rebounds, five steals, and five assists. Mapua improved to 7-1, having now won five straight games.
This allowed the Cardinals to create a lead as huge as 25 in the second half, 63-38, and this was enough for them to lock in the first seed in the standings of the league's first round, which will conclude this week.
