PERPETUAL Help scored its second win in as many outings, downing National University, 78-66, on Saturday in the Filoil Flying V Preseason Premier Cup.
Gab Dagangon had 23 points, while Prince Eze contributed 12 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks for the Altas.
Despite the double-digit win, Altas coach Nosa Omorogbe felt the victory was not easy.
“We really struggled. We don’t play in the same league so we don’t know them. They have a very good coach,” said Omorogbe.
Letran transferee Daryl Singontiko and Bright Akhuetie added 11 points each for the Las Piñas-based cagers.
The Bulldogs slipped to 1-1.
The scores:
Perpetual Help 78 — Dagangon 23, Eze 12, Singontiko 11, Akhuetie 11, Ylagan 7, Coronel 6, Yuhico 2, Pido 2, Sadiwa 2, Lucente 2, Dizon 0.
NU 66 — Diputado 12, Labing-isa 8, Cauilan 8, Yu 6, Salem 6, Morido 5, Mosqueda 5, Gaye 5, Abatayo 3, Aquino 2, Go 2, Salim 2, Gallego 2.
