Filoil caging: Bulldogs rip Altas; UE, Letran win
FIRING on all cylinders, National University streaked to its fifth straight victory, an effortless 94-65 pummeling of Perpetual Help yesterday in the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup.
The Bulldogs hit 21 of their first 26 shots in a bristling first-half performance that sealed the outcome early at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Ray Parks fired 19 points and six other players scored seven points or more for the Bulldogs, who built a 58-28 buffer at halftime after shooting 81 percent from the field.
