Bryan Sajonia as soon as once more starred for San Beda University, steering the Red Lions to a 78-65 win towards Arellano University within the 2023 FilOil EcoOil Preseason Cup on Wednesday on the FilOil EcoOil Centre.
Sajonia, who transferred to the Mendiola squad from Far Eastern University, dropped a game-high 17 factors alongside six rebounds and one steal whereas Richi Calimag contributed 14 markers and three boards as San Beda improved to 3-4.
Arellano, then again, remained winless with a 0-7 card.
Holding a one-point benefit forward of the fourth interval, 52-51, the Red Lions turned issues round with a fast 12-2 run instigated by Sajonia in addition to James Payosing, 64-53.
Another triple from Emman Tagle made it a 73-58 higher hand for San Beda within the closing 3:32 earlier than Lars Sunga, who has been the intense spot for the Chiefs within the preseason tilt, buried a basket to chop their deficit to 10, 73-63.
But Sajonia was simply unstoppable, unleashing the ending kick with 4 of the final 5 factors as San Beda returned to the win column.
Jade Talampas led Arellano with 14 factors whereas Troy Valencia chipped in 11.
