MANILA, Philippines—Lyceum’s rise to the NCAA standings can be attributed to a total team effort, though, a big chunk of that comes from the contributions of Mac Guadaña especially the past week.
After dropping their season opener against College of St. Benilde, the Pirates have gone on to win their next five games behind Guadaña’s solid showing.

Guadaña normed 16 points, two rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals in the pair of victories to earn the Collegiate Press Corps Player of the Week honor.
“I’ll try and maintain these types of performances by continuing to put in the extra work. I’ll put more effort for sure,” he said.
