GMI Market ended Ace Hardware\u2019s winning streak after earning an 85-78 win in the second game in the Mariana Islands Basketball Federation\u2019s Inaugural Men\u2019s Outdoor League last Monday night at the San Antonio court.<\/p>\n

Paul Doseo starred in GMI Market\u2019s upset over Ace Hardware, scoring 11 of his game-high 20 points in the final canto. Doseo also registered 6 of GMI Market\u2019s last 9 markers to hand Ace Hardware its first loss after a 0-3 start. GMI Market got its third win in six games.<\/p>\n

GMI Market took the victory after playing better offense in the second half. It was behind at halftime, 37-43, but managed to grab the upper hand by the end of the third period, 63-60, thanks to Prince Factor. The former Marianas High School standout dropped 9 points in the third canto making up for his dismal showing in the first half where he had only one field goal and a pair of charities. Doseo chipped in 5, while three other GMI Market players made it to the board in the penultimate quarter to put their team on top.<\/p>\n

Doseo then saved his best for last, winning a shootout against Ken Viray in the fourth frame. The Ace Hardware gunner logged 8 of his 16 points in the final period, but was scoreless in the closing minutes of the match.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MGNEL Construction got its second win in five games after edging the Chinese Association, 80-74.<\/p>\n

Mark Ferrer exploded for 31 points for MGNEL, while Gerald Laguindam and Jun Tabora backed him up, adding 14 and 12, respectively.<\/p>\n

Ferrer was consistent in scoring all night, allowing MGNEL to control the game right from the get-go. He had 9 points in the first quarter to hand MGNEL a 20-12 advantage. The MGNEL shooting guard tallied 7 more in the second to keep his team in front at halftime, 35-30, while their advantage was stretched to 9 after the third, 60-51, as Ferrer made 6 points in that canto. <\/p>\n

MGNEL\u2019s top scorer then finished the game with 9 more markers to foil Chinese Association\u2019s comeback bid.<\/p>\n

Mii Tekopua and Zhang Chen combined for 50 points for the Chinese Association, which is still winless after three games.<\/p>\n
