After taking a leave of absence last year, STI College Santa Rosa still showed that their team is still overflowing with confidence and is relentless in defense. STI College Santa Rosa stamped its class as it steam rolled over the STI College Global City team to the tune of a 91 -55 victory. The Batman and Robin tandem of John Batisan and Winston Balmaceda proved to be enough for Team Santa Rosa to improve to a four win one loss card as the Global City cagers came crashing down to earth.
STI College Global City started the game like a house on fire as it opened the game with a 9-4 blitz that stymied the flow of offense of the Santa Rosa Cagers who sued for an early time out. After the time out, Team Santa Rosa unleashed a paralyzing 15-5 run that silenced the home town crowd of who rooted for their Global City team. The Global City dribblers did not know what hit them as Team Santa Rosa forced them to countless turnovers that they translated to fastbreak points. As the first half ended, Team Santa Rosa was on top but within striking distance 41-32.
Santos gets one over Sultan
Santos gets one over SultanTeam Santa Rosa's vaunted full court and half court pressure defense once again shattered Team Global City's hopes of coming back as these defensive efforts turned into gems as the Global City squad turned the ball over successively.This new dimension in the game of STI College Santa Rosa is something they have perfected after playing in different leagues in their area and in Metro Manila more notably the NIKE Summer league.
Winston Balmaceda sank the second of two three pointers that broke the hearts of the Global City hometown team as the Laguna based dribblers took a commanding 69 - 40 third quarter lead. This lead was enough cushion for the Santa Rosa team to coast for a victory in the fourth quarter.Team Santa Rosa's defense was so unforgiving that no one in Team Global City scored in double figures including their leading scorer, Wynald Sultan who scored his lowest output of 7 points. Winston Balmaceda and rookie Aries Santos led Santa Rosa with 17 and 16 points respectively.
