The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament after beating San Sebastian College-Recoletos, 79-73, in the play-in round on Thursday at the Filoil Centre in San Juan.

With the victory, the ALTAs will face Group A top seed San Beda University in the quarterfinals.

The ALTAs held a 60-47 lead in the middle of the third quarter before San Sebastian made a 12-2 run in the frame to trim the deficit to 62-59. However, Shawn Orgo closed the quarter with a basket to give Perpetual a 64-59 lead.

The Golden Stags continued to push the Las Piñas crew, with Vincent Segovia and Christian Ricio leading the charge in the opening minutes of the final frame to tie the game at 64. Orgo then halted the run with a basket before Ricio’s free throws off a JM Tulabut foul tied the game anew at 66.

Jim Corpuz drilled a triple to hand the lead back to the ALTAs, but a Segovia basket and a Caesleyh Bacani triple gave San Sebastian a 71-69 lead with 3:47 left.

Corpuz again reclaimed the lead for Perpetual with a triple before Segovia’s basket gave San Sebastian a 73-72 lead with less than three minutes remaining.

The ALTAs, however, made a late-game push, with Orgo’s split off a Ralph Gabat foul tying the game at 73. Another basket from Orgo and split free throws from Mark Gojo Cruz and Rey Maglupay sealed the victory.

Corpuz led the ALTAs with 18 points, all from beyond the arc, while Orgo added 15 points. Gojo Cruz and LA Casinillio chipped in 10 points apiece.

Bacani led the Golden Stags in their final game with 20 points, while Ricio added 12 and Segovia contributed 10 as San Sebastian capped its season winless at 0-14.
