IKE JORDAN Lim scored 23 points as Makati Gospel Church-New Life Christian Academy defeated Grace Christian College, 56-38, and swept the Developmental Division championship of the 1st Philippine Ching Yuen Athletic Association (PCYAA) basketball tournament yesterday at Uno High School gym in Manila.
