BOYSEN OUTLASTS MULTILINE FOR 1ST WIN, 81-78

Exclusive by Epoy Del Rosario.

Boysen had a huge lift from ABU newcomers Roderick Zagala and Jojo Mercado, as well as crucial clutch baskets from beyond the rainbow arc by John Santiago, to stave off Multiline and claim their first win, 81-78.

Mercado was a big factor when Boysen broke away in the 1st half, going 4-of-8 from the floor, sniping from the perimeter to finish with 8 points. Boysen led at the half 44-31, behind a furious assault from Richard Ortiz, Jonathan Galano and Paolo Olan. Ortiz led Boysen with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 3 steals. Galano went for 15 points and 5 rebounds, while Olan put in 8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 steals. The biggest plays, however, came from Zagala and Santiago, who scored most of their points in the waning moments of the game, after Multiline mounted an inspired comeback to briefly take the lead and threaten to steal the game at the 4-minute mark.
