Saipan Ice & Water outlasted IT&E, 68-64, to finally barge in the win column of the Inter-Commercial Business Basketball League 2015 last Thursday night at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
Patrick Rotap and John Santy alternated in delivering the points for Saipan Ice for its first win after consecutive blowout losses against Mobil\/JP World on Feb. 5 (86-54) and Pacific Islands Club-Saipan (103-48) last Feb. 10.<\/p>\n
Rotap and Santy scored all of Saipan Ice\u2019s 16 points, 8 markers each, in the final period to escape with the win.<\/p>\n
Saipan Ice seemed headed for the easy win when it built a 16-point spread after 10 minutes of play, 27-11.<\/p>\n
But IT&E, behind J.R. Renguul and Ehrol Peredo\u2019s game-long brilliance, kept the game close and even held a slim 53-52 lead entering the final quarter.<\/p>\n
That was when Rotap and Santy, who finished with 30 and 24 points each, took over for Saipan Ice.<\/p>\n
Renguul top-scored for IT&E with 22 markers, while Peredo chipped in 19 and Jason Palacios contributing 14 more.<\/p>\n
In the second game, Preston Basa drained 9 of the Public School System\u2019s 11 3-pointers in an 87-69 humbling of Docomo Pacific.<\/p>\n
Basa finished with a game-high 37 points for PSS, which broke the game wide open in the second period after holding on to a 17-14 spread after the first quarter.<\/p>\n
Docomo failed to keep up with PSS, which stepped on the gas further in the third to never look back.<\/p>\n
Maverick Itibus and Jerry Diaz provided scoring support to Basa contributing 17 and 12 markers each.<\/p>\n
Tony Diaz and Robert Sanciangco scattered 20 points each for Docomo, while Jay White added 13 markers.<\/p>\n
Unbeaten PIC shoots for a third straight win when it faces Saipan Stevedore in tonight\u2019s 6:30pm first game, while Saipan Ice tries to nail another victory when it takes on Joeten Enterprises at 8pm.<\/p>\n
