Justine Baltazar led the way with 21 points and 16 rebounds while Aljun Melecio and Encho Serrano each added 16.
The team made 12 threes while dishing out a combined 27 assists in this contest.
“When we play good defense, 1-on-1, it gives us an opportunity to run” said coach Gian Nazario. The Green Archers converted on 25 fastbreak points.
