PCCL: San Beda winds up third; Fajardo plays last game with UC

MANILA, Philippines – Last year’s runner-up San Beda wound up in third place in the 2011 Philippine Collegiate Championship League (PCCL) after trouncing University of Cebu, 82-69, Monday at the Arena in San Juan.

After missing the finals, the Red Lions vented their ire on the Webmasters anchored on the sizzling performances of guards Rome Dela Rosa and Mar Villahermosa.

Despite the sheer disadvantage in the rebounding department, 36-52, the Red Lions, who played their last game of the year, led all through out the contest.

Dela Rosa scored 21 points and hauled down seven rebounds while Villahermosa, playing his last game in San Beda jersey, fired 14 points, added four rebounds and five assists.

The Webmasters, the only Visayan team who made it in the final four of the Champions league, also bid goodbye to the stalwart Jun Mar Fajardo.

The 6’10” center, who will go on to play with San Miguel in the Asean Basketball League, put up monster numbers in his final game with 24 points and just as many rebounds, along with two blocks.

Brian Heruela added 20 points and nine rebounds for UC.

But it still wasn’t enough to stir UC, which upset finals-bound San Sebastian, 92-71, in the round-robin final four last week, to a final victory.
