Fritz Gonzales topped USPF with 15 points, AJ Kyle Delos Santos added 13, while Rhelance Lacerna and Champ Davidson Brigoli chipped in 10 each,

Angelo Cruz fired 12 points for DBTC, which tasted its fourth defeat in five games.

In another secondary division duel, the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Baby Jaguars improved to 4-1 by downing the Benedicto College Baby Cheetahs, 63-40.

The Baby Cheetahs fell to 1-5.

In the lone college division match, the University of San Carlos (USC) Warriors snapped an alarming slide by taking down the Cebu Institute of Technology-University (CIT-U) Wildcats, 69-52.

It was only USC’s first win in five games while CIT-U slid to 1-2.(CCM)
