MANILA—Pushed to the limit for the second
time in three days, San Sebastian responded with steely resolve to stay
unbeaten in the 87th NCAA basketball tournament.
The Stags, steadier down the stretch,
survived the Mapua Cardinals, 72-69, Friday night for their 15th
straight victory at the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Calvin Abueva fired 26 points and grabbed
16 rebounds, but it was Ronald Pascual who helped seal the victory with
two clutch free throws with four seconds remaining that allowed the
Stags to match their longest winning streak set two seasons ago.
