Jamie Malonzo buried seven triples to lead La Salle to an 89-63 drubbing of Adamson to end its UAAP Season 82 men's basketball tournament campaign Wednesday at Mall of Asia Arena.


The Fil-Am forward scored a career-best 34 points on 7-of-12 sniping from downtown in his final game for the Green Archers, on top of 12 rebounds to cap off his short run in Taft with a victory.

He was responsible in La Salle's blazing 25-12 opener, accounting for 11 points to help his side assert dominance and cruise to the 26-point rout.

Andrei Caracut also ended his collegiate run with 14 points, six assists, and three rebounds as the Green Archers finished the year at an even 7-7.

"Lots of learnings for us," said coach Gian Nazario. "Hats off to these two guys. They ended their college careers well."

Justine Baltazar also tallied a double-double with his 14 points and 13 rebounds in a game where La Salle took a lead as big as 30, 66-36, late in the third frame.

The Green Archers asserting control in the game was buoyed by their hot shooting, going 42-percent from the field, including a 46-percent shooting from downtown.

La Salle also controlled the boards, outrebounding Adamson, 63 to 43.

The Soaring Falcons suffered four straight losses to end the year to bow out with a 4-10 slate.
