UST, AdU lead baseball, softball touney
MANILA, Philippines – University of Santo Tomas (UST) set the diamond ablaze with a five-game sweep to conquer the first round of the 73rd UAAP baseball tournament at the Rizal Memorial Ballpark.
Raring to atone for its lowly fifth-place finish last season, UST amassed 45 runs in five outings, including a 10-2 shellacking of defending champion Adamson University, which currently hold a third-best 2-3 card together with Ateneo de Manila University.
The Tigers wrapped their first-round campaign last Sunday by outlasting De La Salle University, 8-7.
Yielding only 17 runs after five games, UST also prevailed over National University (NU), 8-5; University of the Philippines (UP), 11-1; and Ateneo, 8-2.
The Bulldogs finished second with a 4-1 mark courtesy of victories against UP (5-3), Ateneo (3-0), La Salle (11-7), and Adamson (7-3).
UP and La Salle occupy the cellar with similar 1-4 slates.
In softball, Season 72 bridesmaid Adamson underscored its intention to snatch the crown from reigning titlist UST by going 5-0 after the first round.
The Lady Falcons demolished the Tigresses, 15-3, last Wednesday to complete their own sweep while collecting 47 homers and surrendering only 4.
Aside from UST, UP was the only team to score against the veteran-packed Lady Falcons, who later subdued the Lady Maroons, 5-1.
But against the rest of the pack, Adamson went on shut-out mode, blanking Ateneo (2-0), La Salle (19-0), and University of the East (6-0). The Lady Warriors though held the second spot with a 4-1 ledger while the Tigresses run third at 3-2.
La Salle, UP, and Ateneo round up the bottom half of the standings with identical 1-4 records.
The second round of softball and baseball actions begins on January 8 and 9, respectively. Anthony Divinagracia

Hopefully everyone’s forgotten about DLSU and Serbia by now.
At least, that’s what the PCCL organizers are hoping. After the Archers won the 2008 incarnation of the tournament, they were supposed to go to Serbia to represent the Philippines at the World University Games in Serbia the succeeding year. Stuff happened, if by stuff we mean “epic fail” at the hands of the local organizers, and La Salle wasn’t able to go, leading the Taft-based squad to cry “foul!” on account of supposed bias on the part of Manny Pangilinan.
Flash-forward to 2010 and the PCCL once again said that the tournament’s winner would represent the RP in the 18th Super Kung Sheung International Basketball Invitational Championship. That’s next week by the way.
In any case, Ateneo won, so presumably, MVP is happy about that. However, given that Ateneo is all about the student-athlete, the school is opting not to send the entire squad, to give some players the opportunity to concentrate on their academics.
The roster of players going on the Ateneo side are:
That’s 8 players on what’s supposed to be a 12-man roster. Who’s going to fill in the gaps?
- Kirk Long
- Nico Salva
- Eric Salamat
- Bacon Austria
- Frank Golla
- JP Erram
- Juami Tiongson
- Art Dela Cruz
Adamson players, that’s who. So in addition to the above 8 Eagles, Coach Norman Black and co. have worked out a deal for 4 Adamson players to come along, with Coach Leo Austria helping Coach Black in an assistant role. How cool is that? The four Falcons coming along are:
On paper, that’s a great looking squad, capable of putting up a whole bunch of points from the perimeter, though it could use a few more post players, aside from Colina. This group should be interesting to watch and hopefully, some local station will be smart enough to broadcast a few of the games.
- Lester Alvarez
- Jan Colina
- Eric Camson
- Alex Nuyles

Adamson nips FEU.
Adamson nips FEU.
Adamson University bucked a third-set meltdown and leaned on its veterans down the stretch Saturday to outlast a raw but game Far Eastern University (FEU), 25-17, 23-25, 14-25, 25-14, 15-10, in the 73rd UAAP women’s volleyball tournament at the San Juan Arena.
Angela Benting and Pau Soriano stood at the forefront of the Lady Falcons’ comeback, finishing with 19 and 18 points, respectively to offset a 3-10 blocking deficit against the rookie-laden Lady Tamaraws.
Benting and Soriano also combined for 35 of Adamson’s 64 attacks.
Rookie Rosemarie Vargas led FEU with 7 points built on 15 hits while fellow newbies Kathleen Magsumbol and Mayjorie Roxas added 12 and 11, respectively. Veteran Micha Morada banged in 11 points with 9 attacks for the Lady Tamaraws.

Ateneo, Adamson forge title duel
Ateneo, Adamson forge title duel
Games Thursday (Ninoy Aquino Stadium)
12 noon — UST vs San Sebastian (Jrs)
2 p.m. — Univ. of Cebu vs La Salle (3rd Place)
4 p.m. — Ateneo vs Adamson (Finals Game 1)
MANILA, Philippines — Despite the intimidating presence of University of Cebu’s slotman Junemar Fajardo, UAAP champion Ateneo still managed to get the job done in style.
Banking on a hot start, the Eagles repulsed the repeated comebacks of Fajardo and company to hack out a 74-54 win and advance to the Finals of the Philippine Collegiate Champions League for the fourth straight time on Tuesday at The Arena in San Juan.
The 6-foot-9 Fajardo, who wears a size 17 shoes, displayed impressive post moves and solid footwork rare for a Filipino big man to register 30 points on 12-of-20 shooting aside from grabbing 15 rebounds.
But all his efforts went down the drain as the Eagles rotated the ball pretty well that led them to score in transition for a runaway win.
Adamson, however, prevented an Ateneo-La Salle title showdown as the Falcons surprised the Archers, 67-59, in the second game.
Alex Nuyles and Eric Camson starred for Adamson’s victory by scoring 15 and 12 points, respectively.
The Falcons fell behind, 18-8, in the first quarter but rebounded in the second quarter to tie the count at 30-all before outscoring them in the last three minutes of the third quarter to take the initiative.
“We really don’t want to have one player dominate you but we realized that most of their offense go to Fajardo. That was really the gameplan, he had his 30 points but that was fine as long as we win,” said coach Norman Black.
“I think he should have been playing for the national team but I would say he is definitely a PBA-material,” added Black.
The scores:
First Game
ATENEO 74 — Monfort 15, Chua 12, Salamat 10, Salva 10, Gonzaga 8, Tiongson 6, Golla 5, Austria 4, Escueta 2, Long 2, Balmaceda 0, Erram 0, dela Cruz 0.
UNIV. OF CEBU 54 — Fajardo 30, Pao 8, Juliane 5, Mohammad 5, Cueva 3, Bercede 3, Heruela 0, Cabrera 0, Tan 0, Enriquez 0, Ampoon 0, Magallanes 0, delos Santos 0, Batua 0.
Quarters: 23-16; 36-29; 50-43; 74-54.
Second Game
ADAMSON 67 — Nuyles 15, Camson 12, Alvarez 11, Cabrera 8, Brondial 7, Colina 6, Manyara 3, Canada 3, Stinnett 2, Lozada 0.
