Emilio Aguinaldo College bagged its second win in the Filoil Flying V Preseason Premier Cup after taking down College of St. Benilde, 78-70, Friday at the tournament’s namesake arena in San Juan.
Jerome Garcia had a team-high 20 points, 12 of which came from beyond the arc, to lead the Generals who are now in the sixth spot in Group B with a 2-3 slate.
Clement Leutcheu’s 21-point, 17-rebound double-double wasn’t enough to propel the Blazers to a win as they settled for a 1-5 card at the seventh seed in the standings.
Garcia had ample support from the rest of the EAC roster with Francis Munsayac playing the role of a facilitator putting up 13 points, and eight assists while Sydney Onwubere had a 12-point, 10-rebound, and four-block line.
Edward Dixon was the lone notable Blazer, apart from Leutcheu, as he put up 11 points.
