No more Mr Nice Archer.
No more 20 point leads needing a late rally.
No more nonsense.
Just all business.
The DLSU Green Archers vented all their green vengeance on hapless UE and finished them off 84-72 at the MOA Arena.
La Salle started every quarter like they had a point to prove, flooring the UE Warriors early and keeping the Recto Reds grounded for good.
Up 49–43 at the half, the Archers came out swinging again, uncorking a 6–0 run to push the lead back to double digits.
Just as UE tried to claw back from the abyss, Doy Dungo went supernova from deep, raining in threes that broke whatever momentum the Warriors had left. Then EJ Gollena added the exclamation point — a three-point play off a press break that stretched the lead to 59–44.
The same rhythm carried over into the fourth. Luis Pablo’s back-to-back baskets and a Gian Gomez triple turned the game into a rout, ballooning the lead to 75–55.
By the final buzzer, Pablo led all Archers with 16 while Mike Phillips anchored La Salle with 13 points, while Jacob Cortez added 11 apiece, and Dungo chipped in 9, a balanced attack that showcased how deep and composed this team can be when everything clicks.
At that point, La Salle wasn’t just winning; they were purposeful and imposing their identity, one quarter-opening burst at a time.
La Salle now climbs to 6-3, and amidst the chaos in the standings, now have a clear shot at the top spots.
ANIMO LA SALLE!
