THE University of the Visayas (UV) Baby Lancers gave the Cebu Eastern College (CEC) Dragons a dose of reality check, prevailing in their highly anticipated duel, 99-85, in the secondary division of the 24th Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (Cesafi) basketball tournament on Tuesday night, October 1, at the Cebu Coliseum.

Ranged against a CEC squad that made heads turn after racking up three straight wins to start the season, UV showed it poses a real threat as it went home preserving its unbeaten start.

In pulling the Dragons back to earth, the Ronald Bucao-coached Baby Lancers improved to 2-0 (win-loss) as they logged a good follow-up of their merciless 107-45 crushing of the University of San Carlos Baby Warriors.

Forward Roderick Cambarijan powered UV’s statement win by collecting 28 points, 10 rebounds, five steals, three assists, and two blocks in a monster 28 minutes of action.

Cambaraijan shot 13-of-21 from the field as UV was never really threatened in the match after leading by as many as 17 in the final half.

John Dela Torre, Jhunrel Dagatan, and Kent Casto also made a good account of themselves in the win as they chipped in 15, 14, and 12 markers, respectively.

CEC was once again led by Lybron James Lamo, who tallied 23 points, six rebounds, two assists, and one steal.

Mark Justine Parilla pitched in 13 points, Kenneth Fuller contributed 12, and Reyvene Arobo chipped in 10 for CEC, which will try to regain its footing when it faces the Don Bosco Technical College Greywolves on Saturday, October 5.(CCM)
