Rion Porcadas drilled the game-winning basket as San Sebastian College-Recoletos fended off Arellano University, 72-69, to barge into the win column of the NCAA Season 98 juniors basketball match on Friday on the EAC Gym.

With 24.7 seconds left to go, Porcadas nailed a three-pointer over the protection of Naren Mallari to offer the Staglets a much-needed three-point cushion and drive the Braves to name for a timeout.

Arellano dedicated a expensive shot clock violation within the subsequent possession to show the ball over to San Sebastian.

The Staglets, although, had a turnover as properly to permit Arellano to regroup for a potential game-tying shot, however Mallari missed out on his remaining try on the rainbow nation.

San Sebastian, which opened its marketing campaign with a loss to Colegio de San Juan de Letran, improved to 1-1 whereas Arellano sank to a winless 0-2 begin.

Ernest Geronimo led San Sebastian with 20 factors, 5 rebounds, seven assists, and one block whereas Porcadas completed with 12 markers, 5 dimes, three boards, and one steal.

Xyrill Jalalon led Arellano with 16 factors, six rebounds, and 5 assists whereas James Moore completed with a close to double-double of 14 markers, 9 rebounds, and three assists.
