Knights win 1st game in Season 86

After losing the first two games, the Letran Knights have prevented a 0-3 (win-loss) standing this Season.  The Muralla based team won against Perpetual Help Altas to acquire their first win of the season. Franz Dyzam lead the team in scoring with 21 points. Dyzam incidentally is a transferee from Perpetual Help. The game ended with 87-69 scorecard favoring Letran.

Defense is the key for Letran's win who out rebounded Perpetual garnering 53 boards against Altas' 44. The turnover of the team decrease to 17 this game. Letran averages 22 turn overs this season. Kevin Alas, who was not able to play during the opening game due to a hamstring injury, scored 14 points to help seal the win. This win ties Letran with Arellano University Chiefs with 1 win and 2 loss team standing.

Letran has to rely on this new breed of Knights to win games as their two of their top gunners, Rey Guevarra and Rj Razul have already graduated. We still have to see what Victor Jay "VJ" Espiritu, a rookie from Carson High school (the school where Mike Cortez and Mark Cardona came from) has to offer.
