San Beda used a second quarter assault to dispatch Perpetual Help, 78-71, and assure itself of at least a play-in spot in the playoffs after picking up its sixth win in as many games in the NCAA Season 97 at the La Salle Green Hills Gym on Wednesday, April 20. Kim Aurin paced the Altas with 16 points while Jielo Razon and Cris Pagaran added 15 and 13 markers respectively. With Perpetual hanging tough in the opening frame, San Beda stepped its foot on the gas pedal, embarking to a 13-1 start in the second frame capped by a Winston Ynot trey and a Rhayyan Amsali transition layup to build a 35-23 lead. The Red Lions left the Altas in the dust from that point as they kept the double digit spread at the half, 48-34, and after the third canto, 64-50. San Beda has the chance to secure a Final Four berth when it guns for win No.
