JOSE Rizal University finally got its first in-game win in the NCAA Season 94 as it hacked out a thrilling 57-55 win over Emilio Aguinaldo College on Friday at the Filoil Flying V Arena.
Defense turned out to be the key for the Heavy Bombers in unlocking their breakthrough as they suffocated the Generals in the endgame to hold on to the narrow win.
Leading by just one, 56-55, following a Hamadou Laminou basket, JRU came away with excellent defensive sets starting with Agem Miranda's block on Jerome Garcia.
A Mark Mallari split opened the door for Emilio Aguinaldo, but the Bombers forced Laminou to a tough shot as time expired - resulting into juvelation for JRU.
