Maria’s defense in the first half to be trailed by four marks, 39-43, delivered the extra muscle in the last two periods with a 32-8 binge in the third quarter alone, led by its town’s chief executive Martin Sison pumping in 11 points of his total 23. Their pace stayed till the fourth and final quarter to score a convincing 95-71 victory and clinched the Division II title.

Meanwhile, Urdaneta City never gave Bugallon a chance to grab the front in all the four quarters, with its four marquee players JayR Elegores, Christian delos Santos, Christopher de Lena and Carlos Sanchez at the helm combining a total of 78 points.
