THE Lyceum-Northwestern University (LNU) varsity team, maintaining a no-loss card since the opening day skirmishes last July 16, emerged champion in the just-concluded 2012 PRISAA Metro Dagupan Division Collegiate Games Basketball Event, giving it a back-to-back feat.

LNU will represent Metro Dagupan in the PRISAA Region I Collegiate Games on Nov ember 5-8 in Lingayen.

True to its championship form and style, LNU outlasted its equally formidable foes in the month-long tournament: Pangasinan Merchant Marine Academy (PAMMA), 97-82, Colegio de Dagupan (CdD), 92-81, University of Luzon(UL), 83-76, and PIMSAT Colleges, 110-58, and registered the most number of wins without any loss in the final standings.

Meanwhile, CdD, sporting a 3-1 win-loss card, was first runner–up.

With the win-over-the-other rule, UL, which beat PAMMA, 70-68, grabbed 2nd runner-up honor with a 2-2 slate.

PAMMA (2-2) and PIMSAT (0-4) occupied 4^th and 5th places, respectively in the five-PRISAA-member-school cage tourney.
