The Arellano Chiefs had their flame snuffed out by the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Blazers, 82-94, in the NCAA Season 102 Seniors’ Men’s Basketball Tournament on October 9, 2026, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

The Chiefs started strong as they exploited gaps in the Blazers’ defense, jumping to an early 6-0 run. However, Torres sparked the Blazers’ comeback by sinking multiple three-pointers. The Chiefs answered with multiple steals and layups to regain the lead, but the Blazers fought fiercely to keep the game close. The Chiefs maintained their composure, ending the opening quarter with a nail-biting score of 26-25.

The Chiefs carried their momentum from the first quarter by scoring back-to-back baskets to extend their lead. However, both teams tightened their defense, making scoring almost impossible. T-MC Ongotan proved otherwise by leading the Chiefs with several layups, extending their lead to eight points. Arellano continued to score while the Blazers struggled to break through the Chiefs’ intense defense. Despite the pressure-filled gameplay, the Chiefs maintained their composure down the stretch, taking a 48-42 lead into halftime.

The momentum shifted in the third quarter as the Blazers finally found their offensive rhythm and focused on cutting the deficit. They eventually unleashed a scoring barrage, successfully closing the gap and tying the game at 63-63. Both teams battled fiercely on both ends of the court, exchanging baskets as they fought for the lead. In the final two minutes of the quarter, the Blazers caught fire, dominating the game with consecutive baskets to take the lead, 73-68, heading into the final quarter.

In the final quarter, the Blazers took control of the game, putting the Chiefs under immense pressure with a 7-0 run that forced the Chiefs to call a timeout. After the short break, the Chiefs tried to regain momentum by breaking through the Blazers’ defense, but Benilde held firm and continued to dominate in the closing minutes of the game, sealing its victory with a score of 94-82.

The comeback extended the Blazers’ winning streak to four games. They remained at the top of the Group A standings with a 6-1 win-loss record. Justine Sanchez was named Player of the Game after contributing 17 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs will attempt to bounce back in their next game against San Beda University at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City on October 13, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.

The Knights drew first blood as Chad Gammad opened the game with a three-pointer, setting the tone for a back-and-forth opening frame.

The Knights held a 28-25 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

Ernjay Geronimo opened the second quarter with a jumper for Arellano as the Chiefs continued to chase the Knights. The two teams exchanged baskets until Letran extended its lead to seven points, 46-39. Arellano responded to keep the deficit manageable, but the Knights still held a 48-42 lead heading into halftime.

T-MC Ongotan sparked the Chiefs’ comeback in the third quarter as Arellano opened the second half with a 5-0 run to cut Letran’s lead to one, 48-47. The game became increasingly physical, with Ongotan making a key block as both teams battled for possession.

The score was later tied at 55-55 as both teams continued to clash neck and neck, then minutes after Ongotan led a 6-0 Arellano run that gave the Chiefs a 66-60 advantage. Arellano carried the momentum into the final minutes of the quarter and entered the fourth with a 68-63 lead.

Letran bounced back in the fourth quarter to take a 76-73 lead, putting the Chiefs under pressure. With about six minutes remaining, Sebastian Valencia was called for a flop as the game's physicality continued.

Umarangkada ang Arellano University Senior Basketball Team sa kanilang ikatlong laban sa NCAA Season 102 Men’s Basketball Tournament matapos ilampaso ang University of Perpetual Help DALTA Altas, 88-65 nitong Biyernes, Setyembre 25, 2026, sa PhilSports Arena, Pasig.

Hindi nagpatumpik-tumpik ang Chiefs player na si T-MC Ongotan at agad na nagpakawala ng tres sa pagka-ihip ng pito. Sinungkit ng Chiefs ang lamang gamit ang kanilang husay, na sinamahan pa ng sunod-sunod na fouls ng Perpetual Altas. Nanguna ang Chiefs sa depensa at opensa at nagtulungan upang makapagtala ng mala-kidlat na 7-0 run upang tambakan ang kabilang panig.

Hindi nagpahuli ang Perpetual Altas at nagpakawala ng sunod-sunod na puntos upang makasabay sa daloy ng laban. Subalit, isinubsob ng Chiefs ang kagustuhang makahabol ng Perpetual Altas at agad na sinelyuhan ang unang bahagi sa iskor na 31-15.

Bitbit ang dagsa ng unang kuwarter, nag-init ang Chiefs at agad na nilamangan ang kalaban matapos magpakawala ng 5-0 na takbo, hanggang sa maputol ito ni Leobert Andrew Casinillo, Altas layer number 8, gamit ang kanyang free throw. Agad na nakabawi ang Chiefs at sunod-sunod na nakapuntos upang mas mapalawak pa ang kanilang lamang.

Sa kalagitnaan naman ng ikalawang bahagi, naging mas mahigpit ang laban at lalong tumibay ang depensa ng magkabilang panig. Subalit nagising ang diwa ng Perpetual Altas at agad na nagpakitang-gilas upang mapilitan ang Chiefs Head Coach na si Coach Chico Manabat na tumawag ng timeout.

Pagkabalik sa laban, mas pinaigting ng Altas ang kanilang depensa at opensa, kaya’t kinailangan muli ng Chiefs ng isa pang timeout. Hindi na pinatagal pa ng Chiefs at tinuldukan ang ikalawang bahagi sa iskor na 53-35.

Nanguna si Leobert Andrew Casinillo ng Perpetual Atlas sa ikatlong bahagi at namayagpag ng nagraragasang sunod-sunod na puntos upang bawasan ang lamang ng labintatlo. Hindi nagpatinag ang Chiefs at muling binawi ang pangingibabaw nang sa ganoo’y mapigilan ang pag-ahon ng kalaban. Naging malupit ang palitan ng puntos ng parehong pangkat, ngunit mas nakahanap ng butas ang Altas kaya’t napatawag ang Chiefs ng kanilang pangatlong timeout sa laban.

Sinakmal ng Chiefs ang sigla at ginulantang ang lahat matapos magpakawala si Ongotan ng 3-point shot, na sinundan ng isang mahusay na spin shot ni ErnJay Geronimo, upang palawakin ang lamang ng labimpitong puntos. Ubos na ang oras, ngunit hindi pa rin gumagalaw ang puntos ng dalawang koponan, hanggang sa nasapak ng Chiefs player, Cyril Hernal, nang hindi sinasadya, ang Altas player number 54 na si Jericho Cristino, na nagbigay-daan sa free throw ng Perpetual Altas. Hindi na tumagal pa ang ikatlong bahagi at natapos ito sa iskor na 65-49.

Bumulusok ang tensyon sa huling kuwarter habang umalingawngaw ang sigawan at hiyawan ng mga manonood sa arena. Agad na nagtala ang Chiefs ng anim na puntos upang muling mapalawak ang kalamangan, dahilan upang tumawag ng maagang timeout ang Altas.

Mas naging agresibo ang dalawang koponan sa magkabilang dulo ng sahig, ngunit nanatiling matatag ang Chiefs sa depensa at opensa. Sunod-sunod na three-pointers ang ipinukol ng Arellano upang umabot sa 21 puntos ang kanilang kalamangan.

Sa huling minuto, kontrolado na ng Chiefs ang tempo ng laro habang unti-unting nauubos ang oras. Tuluyan nilang isinara ang laban sa iskor na 88-65, nananatiling walang talo matapos ang kanilang unang tatlong laro sa torneo.

Itinakdang “Player of the Game” ang Chiefs team captain na si King Maverick Vinoya, na nagtala ng labinlimang puntos, 6/9 na field goals, at 2 rebounds.

Mananatiling abala ang Chiefs matapos itakda ang kanilang susunod na laban sa Martes, Setyembre 29, 2026, alas-3:00 ng hapon, sa Filoil EcoOil Centre sa San Juan City, kung saan makakaharap nila ang Letran Knights.
