ARELLANO scored its seventh straight victory, downing Emilio Aguinaldo College, 83-74, on Thursday in the NCAA Season 92 seniors basketball tournament at the Filoil Flying V Centre.
The Chiefs gained a share of the lead with San Beda with a 10-2 win-loss card.
Jio Jalalon had 21 points on top of eight rebounds and nine assists, to the delight of a predominantly Arellano crowd.
Arellano coach Jerry Codinera, however, was not completely satisfied with Chiefs’ play.
“Hindi namin ma-close ’yung game. Marami kaming mental lapses sa game,” said Codinera.
“We are thankful na we were able to win for our school. I hope hindi magsawa ’yung mga bata sa panalo,” he added.
