Anaba leads PCU-D over LPU

MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Christian University-Dasmariñas rebounded remarkably from a stinging defeat last week by repeating over Lyceum of the Philippines University, 84-80, in the second round of the PGFlex-UCAL Season 8 Basketball Tournament on Monday at the Paco Arena in Manila.

From a 71-68 defeat to reigning titlist Olivarez College exactly a week ago, the Dolphins went to 6-foot-9 Nigerian Kingsley Anaba who did not disappoint by tallying 26 points and 15 rebounds plus two assists.

Guard Nifio John Opone finished with 18 points spiked by two triples while Angus Geronimo added 13 points.

PCU-D and Lyceum finished tied with similar 6-5 marks in the second elims of their group but the former took No. 3 seeding due to the winner over the other rule.
