De La Salle defeated the University of Batangas 78-55 today in the PCCL Sweet 16 Phase.
The result was expected. La Salle jumped to a quick 6-0 start and led 25-8 at the end of the first quarter. The team got a bit of a scare in the second period as the Brahmans pulled to within 7 but they still managed to finish the first half strong for a 37-25 lead.
In the third period, the Green Archers outscored their opponent 22-10 to break the game open. The final quarter was just a formality.
It gets tougher from here on as the Archers will next face UST this coming Monday at 4PM.
