Hernandez’s stellar play earned him the season’s second Collegiate Press Corps NCAA Player of the Week honors for the period Oct. 3 to 9, following suit to Shawn Umali of Lyceum of the Philippines university. Down by one against Benilde last October 4, Hernandez hit the dagger jumper with 22 seconds remaining in the match before sealing the victory with three conversions from the charity stripe.
“We just stayed composed lang, and nagtiwala kami sa mga coaches, sa mga teammates. May tiwala kami sa isa’t isa,” he said.
