MANILA -- College of St. Benilde dethroned San Beda to claim the NCAA Season 100 men's badminton crown, Thursday at the Centro Atletico in Cubao, Quezon City.

Alron Alonzo pulled off a gripping 21-11, 12-21, 21-14 victory over Krenz Valena to complete a 2-1 match win for the Blazers.

This was St. Benilde's second title in the event after they also reigned supreme nine years ago.

Michael Garcia delivered the first win for CSB with a 21-17, 21-14 triumph over Mel de Vera in the first singles match before San Beda’s Arjay Lazareto and Joaquin Pollentes knotted it up with a 21-14, 21-10 shellacking of Ronnie Mullet and Troy Oliveros in the doubles.

Alonzo then wrapped it all up with that magnificent triumph in the deciding singles with a performance to remember.

"Nagbunga na din training ko,”" said an emotional 23-year-old, third-year Computer Application student who trained under former national team mainstay Lloyd Escoses.

Earlier, San Sebastian completed a back-to-back reign by blanking San Beda on triumphs by eventual MVP Seth Quiambao over Ron Ezekial Zakarias, 21-17, 21-8, in the singles and Giet Linaban and JV Lanuza over Adrien Villegas and Allen Lopina, 21-9, 21-12, in the doubles.
