San Beda completes comeback vs. Mapua to snap skid
Zedjay Etulle capped off a mighty San Beda University comeback against Mapua University, 73-72, as the Red Lions broke out of slump in the 18th Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup on Saturday. The 6-foot-5 wingman dropped a floater off an offensive rebound and assist from veteran Yukien Andrada, giving San Beda a 73-71 lead with 23 seconds left in the fourth period. Although Etulle wasn't able to sink the free throw, it was enough to salvage the Red Lions as Clint Escamis misfired a desperate three-pointer. The win allowed San Beda to come back from 12 points down, thanks to a masterful fourth quarter that saw the wards of head coach Yuri Escueta unleash 21 points while limiting the reigning NCAA champions to just eight. Andrada led the charge with 16 points laced with six rebounds, two assists, and two steals while Jomel Puno and Agjanti Miller scattered 14 and 13 markers apiece as they snapped out of two-game slide to improve to 2-3. Etulle, meanwhile, finished with 11 points, two rebounds, and two dimes in just 14 minutes of action. The Cardinals, who absorbed their second straight defeat on the way to a 4-4 card, leaned on Cyril Gonzales, who posted 23 points while Joe Gulapa listed 13. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
