MANILA, Philippines—Mapua squeaked past Lyceum, 62-59, at the start of the second round of the NCAA Season 98 men’s basketball tournament at San Juan Arena on Sunday.

The Cardinals posted their second straight win and dealt the Pirates only their third loss of the season.

“We played as a team. Even when we were down we did not collapse. I think that’s the factor for our back-to-back wins. We all did our roles,” said Mapua guard JJ Pido, who led his team in scoring with 11 points, in Filipino.

Warren Bonifacio sank a clutch jumper from midrange to give the Cardinals a 60-55 cushion with 32.4 seconds left.
