Eagles vs Bulldogs - Part II

September 13, Thursday

Philsports Arena, Pasig

Bulldogs Struggle to Keep Apace

Can They Exact Vengeance on the Eagles ?

- Feeling It -
 This post match image answers the question above.

No, the Eagles repeat over the Bulldogs, convincingly - [70-56]

L-R Tonito Gonzaga / Gia Jamis [dark shorts] / Leah Cruz [white tee] /

and that Tayco girl [holding Tonito] [Jeez, I didn't ask her name]

Vanessa Baguiwet / Leah Cruz / ____ Tayco / & my pretty pal Gia Jamias

cheerfully wave.

Bobby Ray Parks, as expected, tries to lead his pack of Bulldogs to victory.

Ray scores 11 markers and takes down 11 boards.

It is Emmanuel Mbe, though, who ends up topscoring for NU.

Mbe contributes 19 point and 14 boards.

The image above shows Omping Sumalinog [#17] blocking,

 but fouling Mbe, who tries to slam the sphere.

Jeoffrey Javillonar's [#5] 15 markers and Mark de Guzman's [#9] 5 points
simply aren't enough to help the NU cause.

The photo above shows Javillonar trying to save an erant pass while the image below shows de Guzman shooting from mid-range.

- The Usual Suspects -
Slaughter / Salva / Ravena

- Looming Large -
Greg Slaughter - 22 points

Greg, Nico, anf Kiefer combine for 50 markers - 

only 6 shy of NU's game total of 56.

The Bulldogs outrebound the Eagles by 11 [37-26], 

but their 36.7% shooting clip is outclassed by Ateneo's 56.9

 - Smooth -
Nico Salva - 14 points

- Unpredictable -
Kiefer Ravena - 14 points

See Ya in the Ateneo UST match !!

Pretty Ateneo Cheerdancer Marian Arcenas flashes [a smile, that is].

I did an artsy portrait of Marian last July 28;

at the MoA Arena -- actually, it was an image of her shadow -

yet that image is one of my Standout artistic interpretations of any girl,

for that matter, in recent months.
