SURROUNDED by the cheers and roars of the Red Lions, the San Beda College Alabang (SBCA) men’s basketball team secured their first victory for the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Season 25 as they prevailed against Colegio de San Juan de Letran (CSJL) last May 11.

        The Red Lions started strong as they continued to score points and maintained their momentum during the first quarter. Despite CSJL’s attempt to take over, the Red Lions managed to widen the gap and ended the first quarter with a score of 23-16. The first point for the second quarter went to SBCA after a successful free throw after a foul was raised.
