SSC beats PSU 4-1; to face-off with CBSUA in game 5
By Rey Anthony Ostria
“Magaling sila, pero susubukan pa rin namin. Bilog ang
bola. Huwag tayong pasiguro, kasi pare-pareho naman kaming
amateurs.”
Thus said Coach Salvador Andes Sr. of the Sorsogon State
College (SSC) about their next match today against Central Bicol
State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) after winning their match
against Partido State University yesterday.
The first half ended at 3-0 in favor of SSC. It was PSU’s
Marlo Pelo who scored the first goal at the tenth minute of
the game. However, the SSC Team’s Adam Hicotin and Erwin
Almoguerra retaliated with two successive goals and another
one later in the game.
All was well before an accidental headbutt happened
between Mark Huebos of SSC and Pelo. PSU coach Sean Sierra
had to call on first aiders to cover Pelo’s wound on his upper
head.
The referee, however, didn’t call for a foul because both
players received impact from the headbutt.
“It was a small cut which does not need a suturing. We
just dressed the wound so it won’t be exposed when he goes
BU, SSC, CNSC, PSU ace in women basketball duels
Tension was high in the basketball women opening
game Tuesday as four pairs of contending teams from eight state
universities and colleges (SUCs) struggled to scoop the win.
The first pair was Bicol University (BU) and Catanduanes
State Colleges (CSC) which ended at 44-39 in favor of BU.
BU’s Diana Fullo fired two successive two-pointers at
the early minutes of the game. BU was able to post a four-point
lead at 12-8 at the end of the first quarter. CSC however picked
up the pieces as it evened score with BU in the last seconds of
the second quarter.
The constant motivation of BU Team Coach Cesar
Tayam, revived the spirits of his players in the third quarter that
ended with a 5-point lead for BU.
“BU players are well-trained and we find the game very
challenging,” Jemari Tolentino and Jennelyn Matecha of CSC
team both said.
“Since half of the (CSC) players were new, they could
not right away blend with the old ones,” Tayam said. She added
that BU team has ‘reinforced’ its defense because the team had
played against CSC before so they already know parts of the
latter’s game plan.
During the second match, Sorsogon State College (SSC)
cagers sealed the win as it secured a 44-25 score over rival Dr.
Emilio B. Espinosa Senior Memorial State College of Agriculture
and Technology (DEBESMSCAT).
SSC scored 20 points during the first half, four shots

back to the field,” said Sports Coordinator and Head of First Aid
Ruben Gariando.
Pelo was back in the game not long after his wound
was dressed by the first aid team.
While his players were resting at half-time, Sierra told
BURUGKOS that his team had performed well but some changes
in their gameplay affected much of their performance.
“Two of my players were disqualified because they had
no IDs. So we had no substitutes,” he said.
He added that their defense is not enough to keep SSC
from scoring.
In the second half, Lenerd Lora of SSC scored another
goal in the 65th minute earning for SSC a three-point lead.
Two SSC players however received a yellow card each.
“If they get another yellow card in their next match,
they will not be allowed to play again in the tournament,”
Noland Toledo, referee, said.
A face off is set between SSC and CBSUA in the opening
game today, the second day of the tournament. ■
ahead of DEBESMSCAT and added 24 points during the last
half.
Game official Roderick Magayanes said the SSC showed
high winning potentials right from the first quarter. This was
affirmed by referees Richard Quimio and Arnel Camacho.
The Camarines Norte State College Women’s Basketball
team showed no mercy on its counterpart from Camarines Sur
Polytechnic Colleges with its 52-25 game which came next to
SSC vs. DEBESMSCAT match.
An 18-point lead was sealed in the first half by Karen
Dioso, CNSC team’s captain ball. The second half seemed a replay
of the first half with CNSC dominating the game all through
out.
“We have been practicing for more than a month before
this event and we really look forward to our college’s success,”
said Dioso.
Victory was notched by the Partido State University
(PSU) women basketball team during the fourth and final match
for Day 1 as they scored 46 over its opponent Central Bicol State
University of Agriculture which secured 27 points.
PSU led the first quarter of the game with its 11-8
score, but CBSUA was able to trail in the 2nd quarter. The
game was temporarily stopped during the last minutes of the
3rd quarter as the rain poured very hard. PSU Coach Maria
Pacamara approached the coordinating committee and said
that she would stop her team from playing if the downpour
gets heavier because the court would get very slippery and
dangerous for the players. It was then resumed at the BU
College of Engineering Gymnasium.
Before the game was temporarily stopped, PSU
player Catherine Rose Bodollo accidentally shot the ball at the
opponent’s ring which started tension between CBSUA coach,
Sony Corporal and referee, Rolando Mendoza.
According to Corporal, it should be counted but
Mendoza insisted otherwise because though unintentional it
was still a violation.
Despite these hurdles, the joint forces of CBSUA team’s
leading ace player, France Laporteza and guard, Laurence Mae
Gomez enabled them to win in their first match. ■

Athletes’ Night tagged as BU CSC shuts out DEBESM-
Rocks SCUAA SCAT in softball: 10-0
By Franco Honesto D. Lasay and Henor Gotis
By Sarah Moran
To set aside the atmosphere of competition and build
camaraderie among the athletes from the eight state universities
and colleges, the BU University Student Council (USC) launched
a two-part Athletes’ Night tagged as “BU Rocks SCUAA”.
The first night featured five local bands (M.Y.G.P,
Hostage Drama, PageDown, Perdition, and Mind of Clay) that
played acoustic and rock music for the crowd. Meanwhile,
nationally-famous bands Grin Department, DAR Wager, and
Black Board added zest to the already wild crowd.
BU-USC Chairperson Daisy Lleno said that the athletes
must not see themselves as competitors but as athletes who
have only one goal, and that is to represent the Bicol region
because despite the fact that they come from different schools,
they are all Bicolanos.
The concert was meant to start at 7 p.m. but due to bad
weather it started at around 8 p.m. Only a few participants were
present during the early part of the concert because of the rain,
but as the night went by, the concert grounds eventually filled
up.
According to Cyrus Lanuza, executive chairman of the
two-night concert and USC business manager, the original plan
of the USC was to conduct the activity for one night only but
they were requested by BU President Fay Lauraya to have it for
two nights. The BU NSTP shouldered the sound system for the
first night while the USC funded the second night.
USC Secretary General Alexis Joyce Baldon and Vice
President for External Affairs John Francis Balino were the hosts
for the night.
The second night featured seven local bands; they
are Kolopneytsur, Euchapuera Band, Dubista, Muchas Grassas,
Kancioneros, Stolenshots, and Tutpick Band. ■

CBSUA overwhelms CSC
in soccer field
By Edda Mae Morata
With a nine-point lead over its contender, the Central
Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) goaled its first
victory against Catanduanes State College (CSC) in yesterday’s
soccer match.
Despite the marshy ground, the two teams remained
eager to win the match. In the early minutes of the 1st half,
Melvin Importanto scored the goal for CBSUA. However, CSC’s
JR Manlangit also scored for their team, tying CBSUA. The latter
broke the deadlock by scoring five consecutive goals before
the end of the first half. Although CSC’s Garlet Arcilla was able
to score, it was instantly countered by yet another goal from
Christopher Carmino of CSBUA.
By the end of the first half, CBSUA was leading with six
goals, while CSC only managed two.
The second half was dominated by CBSUA with
successive goals from Erwin Miña, Marco Archimedos and Jim
Oliver. The final score was 12-3, in favor of CBSUA.
Martin Encinares, CBSUA head coach said that good
camaraderie led to their team’s victory.
On the other hand, CSC coach Epifanio Rubio said
his team’s teamwork should be improved. He added that their
current players were not the original players who trained for
SCUAA.
“They were replaced because of certain problems,”Rubio
said, adding that they will make up for this loss in tomorrow’s
game.
“We are going to win the game tomorrow,” Rubio
furthered. ■

Catanduanes State Colleges (CSC) leaned on the
superb batting of each team player to hack out a 10-0
decision over Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State
College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) at the
second game in the 22nd SCUAA softball wars at the BU Oval,
Tuesday.
CSC, last year’s 1st runner up, dominated the first
and second round of the game with a 4-0 and 3-0 finish
respectively, leaving a slim chance for DEBESMSCAT to keep
up.
The third round meant nothing to DEBESMSCAT
when the leading team kept a steady pace as their batter,
Andylyn Sora, slugged a long hit sending her last teammate
home and a 3-0 game-ender.
Sensing an impossible catch-up for DEBESMSCAT,
the officials decided to finish the game which ended up in a
10-0 game.
“We did lectures and briefing for strategies before
the game,” said CSC softball coach, Vergilio Decano, after the
win. ■
