MANILA, Philippines—Arellano escaped a rugged Mapua side, 64-59, in the NCAA Season 98 men’s basketball tournament at San Juan Arena on Sunday.

The Chiefs overcame the absence of Cade Flores, who fouled out in the dying minutes of the game.

“Almost all teams [in the NCAA] are physical so my team needed to wake up in the fourth. I’m glad they did,” Arellano head coach Cholo Martin said.

“We all know Cade is a big part of the team, but I’m glad the others stepped up,” he added.

Axel Doromal and Shane Menina produced crucial points for the Chiefs with Menina hitting the dagger triple against his former team, 64-56, with 28.7 ticks to go as their team improved to 4-3. The two combined for 29 points.
