MANILA, Philippines – The UP Fighting Maroons in recent years made a living out of aching hearts, both of opponents’ fans and their own, and Saturday night, October 13, was no exception as they pulled off a late heist over the UST Growling Tigers, 83-73, to sweep their UAAP season series at the Araneta Coliseum.
UST only got as near as 7, 70-77, in the last two minutes before Fortea hushed the roaring Tigers’ crowd with back-to-back corner triples to regain a double-digit separation, 83-73, and set the final score with 39.6 left to play. Cagulangan added 9 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals in just 15 minutes off the bench, while Reyland Torres — currently in the spotlight for hison La Salle coach Topex Robinson — offset a 1-of-6 shooting night with 4 points, a team-high 5 dimes, and 3 boards.
