Colonnade upsets Pipeline in PPSA caging

Colonnade Supermarket stunned Pipeline Resto Bar, 79-78, while St. Therese Pawnshop whipped Fravu, 79-68, last Monday in the Punta Princesa Sports Association basketball tournament at Vicente Sotto Memorial gym in Punta Princesa.

The three-man team up of Oliver Go, Marlou Monreal and Edward Solon helped Colonnade post a slim lead at the turn, but Pipeline turned the course of the game to its favor by erecting a six point edge going into the final quarter.

A seesaw battle ensued but Colonade grabbed the momentum in the closing minutes when Onnie Co's fast driving lay-up was fouled to complete the three-point play, 77-78.

But it was Edwin Dinglasa, who scored the heroic shot in the remaining 18 seconds, to post the hairline victory in the 30-above division.

In 40-above category, Alfred Lim wound up with 18 points for defending champion St. Therese Pawnshop while Junard Ciabo and Chito Hernandez backed with 10 points apiece.
