MANILA — Mapua University continued its onslaught in the NCAA Season 100 men's basketball tournament.

The Cardinals extended their win streak to eight after they took care of business against San Sebastian College-Recoletos, 95-79, in their Wednesday evening faceoff at the San Juan Arena.

Yam Concepcion had one of his best games in the NCAA so far, putting up an all-around outing of 18 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals, and a block, and this helped Mapua improve to 14-3, tied with De La Salle-College of St. Benilde for the top seed.

Chris Hubilla and JC Recto each scored 17 for the Randy Alcantara-mentored team, while Joaquin Garcia was the next Mapuan in double-digit scoring with 12.

Already ahead by seven, 24-17, after the first 10 minutes of action, the Cardinals continued to stomp on the Stags in the second and third frames by outscoring them in that span, 57-32.

This enabled Mapua to build a lead that grew to as much as 32, 81-49, after a basket by Recto off an assist by Concepcion to end the third.

SSC-R tried to rally in the fourth and even won the quarter, 30-14, but the Cardinals' lead was just too much for the Golden Stags to overcome. 

Mapua's win spoiled another stellar game for Paeng Are, with the spitfire guard tallying a game-high 22 points with four assists and three rebounds.

Raymart Escobido followed with 16, while TJ Felebrico contributed a 13-point, 15-rebound game.
