Mycah Go prioritizes Benilde first with NCAA Finals, PVL Draft happening on same day
De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde veteran Mycah Go has a lot on her plate right now. Last Sunday, Go and the Lady Blazers dispatched Mapua University and booked another trip to the NCAA women's volleyball finals. Days before that, Go attended the PVL Draft Combine, although she did not participate in the said event on its second day. On June 8, however, the NCAA Season 97 MVP will have to juggle her events as she will play with Benilde in the NCAA finals at 2:30 p.m. in San Juan, then go straight to the PVL Draft in Quezon City. "Hindi pa ako tapos sa Benilde so priority ko pa rin ang Benilde and katawan ko," Go said last Sunday after a hectic week of activities for her. "Unahin ko muna ang NC, mas gusto ko pa rin na maganda ang tapos ko [rito]," she added. [I'm not yet done with Benilde so my priorities are still Benilde and my body... I'll put NC first, I still want to finish strong here.] Go has been a part of Benilde's four straight finals appearances. In Season 98, despite her injury, Go was still on the Benilde bench as part of the coaching staff. Now, she has a chance to get her third title as a student-athlete. "Tuloy pa rin, tuloy pa rin sa pagtrabaho, [ayusin] kung anong kailangan i-improve," she said. [We continue on, we continue working on what we need to improve.] Benilde will face Colegio de San Juan de Letran in the best-of-three finals which will start on Sunday. —JMB, GMA Integrated News

FilOil: Allen Liwag saves day as Benilde escapes Mapua in preseason tiff
Allen Liwag came through in the clutch to help De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde escape a familiar foe in Mapua University, 58-56, in the 18th Filoil Preseason Cup on Sunday. Tied at 55-all, the 6-foot-6 reigning NCAA MVP sank the biggest shot of the game — an and-one floater against the defense of Ivan Lazarte that put the Blazers ahead by three in the final 1:05 of the game, 58-55. The Cardinals made a desperate comeback attempt but Lazarte and Clint Escamis missed their three-point attempts in the game's final moments. Escamis would split his freebies in the final eight seconds, but that wasn't enough to turn things around for the defending NCAA champions. Liwag finished with 11 points and was the only Blazer in double figures. He also had six rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. Roger Ondoa, whose layup with 2:41 left in the fourth allowed Benilde to force the deadlock that eventually led to the Liwag game-winner, tallied six markers and four boards. Matthew Oli and Shawn Umali both chipped in with six apiece as well. Lazarte paced Mapua with 17 points while Escamis did it on both ends with 12 markers, seven rebounds, four assists, and six steals. The scores: Benilde 58 - Liwag 11, Oli 6, Ondoa 6, Umali 6, Gaspay 5, Cajucom 4, Galas 4, Celis 3, Gonzaga 3, Sanchez 3, Torres 3, Ancheta 2, Moore 2, Daja 0, Eusebio 0, Jalalon 0. Mapua 56 - Lazarte 17, Escamis 12, Igliane 0, Agemenyi 0, Gonzales 7, Delos Reyes 6, Abdulla 5, Concepcion 4, Sapasap 3, Recto 2, Cuenco 0, Gulapa 0, Nitura 0, Pantaleon 0, Ryan 0. Quarters: 16-19, 32-36, 47-41, 58-56. —JMB, GMA Integrated News
