The Chiefs continue its surge to the top of the NCAA ladder.
The Arellano University Chiefs broke its three-game losing streak to the Colegio de San Juan de Letran Knights, taking an 83-74 wire to wire win to send the defending champions to the brink of elimination Friday evening at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan City.
Stopping Arellano U’s prized backcourt duo of Jiovani Jalalon and Kent Salado dead on their tracks in transition could have been part of St. Benilde guard Gerald Castor’s defensive plans.
