Archers fall to Falcons, drop to 4-4

The Archers failed to conquer the Falcons once again. La Salle lost their first game in Round 2 of eliminations with a score of 66-68.

The boys in green were unable to maintain their dominant opening quarter after leading 18-11 entering the second period with good team effort, showing why they are ranked 2nd in the league in assists. The second quarter proved to be the downfall of the Archers as they allowed Adamson to have a 21-0 run, and scored only 1 field goal in the quarter.

A definite lack of solid defense and offense continued in the third quarter despite shooting 50% from beyond the arc compared to Adamson's 25%. The boys in green showed true animo with a comeback in the fourth quarter after being down by more than 20 points, via a 20-4 run.
The game was tied with less than a minute to go but the Falcons proved victorious as Alex Nuyles nailed a jumper with 0.8 seconds remaining.

With this loss, La Salle falls into a 3-way tie with FEU and UST at 4-4.
