La Salle ventures forth for the first time without any true star to anchor its line-up. Having lost Rico Maierhofer and JVee Casio, the Archers now anchor its hopes on PJ Barua and James Mangahas. They weren't enough. The DLSU Green Archers fell to the UE Warriors 65-46.
46 points marked the lowest score that La Salle had ever gotten for a UAAP game. With no player stepping up to cover for the lost scoring of Casio and Maierhofer, UE stepped on the gas in the fourth and left the Archers huffing and puffing.
No Archer finished with more than 9 points.
UE on the other hand was dealing with a lot of issues on the side. Former coach Dindo Pumaren was now sitting on the La Salle bench as an assistant coach. Their athletic director passed away. And their main man James Martinez was lost for the season due to a torn ACL.
Despite all of these side issues new coach Lawrence Tiongson was able to steer the Warriors to a rousing win over the Archers.
