Garapan\u2019s Quina Flores drives against a phalanx of San Antonio defenders during the 2022 Marianas Village Pride Basketball League last Saturday at the Gillette Multi-Purpose Gymnasium in Gualo Rai. (LEIGH GASES)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Garapan fended off a late game challenge by San Antonio to improve to 3-1 in the women\u2019s division of the 2022 Marianas Village Pride Basketball League last Saturday at the Gillette Multi-Purpose Gymnasium in Gualo Rai.<\/p>\n

With Garapan leading by 7 points, 43-36, with 1:40 left in the game, San Antonio uncorked a 9-4 run to narrow the gap to just a mere 2 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mia Abuan started the rally when her layup made it into a 6-point game a little over a minute to go and a 3-pointer by Kaitlyn Chavez with 47 ticks left on the clock made it just a 3-point game, 44-41.<\/p>\n

Luckily for Garapan, A.J. Garon escaped for a layup not 5 seconds after and Mikayla Lopez made 1-2 from the stripe. Abuan made another shot to make it 47-45 with less than 20 seconds to go in the ballgame.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marlene Lumabi then came down the floor and scored easily before Garapan fouled Chavez who made 2-2 from the free throw line with only 9 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

However, rather than foul to stop the ballgame, San Antonio inexplicably let Lopez dribble the remaining time away as Garapan escaped with the 49-47 victory.<\/p>\n

Lumabi paced Garapan in the close win with 17 points, while Lopez added 13 markers. Chavez topped the now 0-3 San Antonio team with 12 points, while Mya Pangelinan chipped in 10.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Kagman improved to 4-0 in the boys 13 after thumping a winless Garapan crew, 46-29.<\/p>\n

Leon Galarse spearheaded Kagman in the romp of Garapan with 18 points, while Liam Wilson shone in the loss with a game-high 23.<\/p>\n

In the boys 18, Tanapag won the battle of two undefeated teams following a 50-39 victory over Koblerville.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tanapag posted its fourth win thanks to the 17 points of Gino Rasg and the 15 points of Frankie Satur. The now 3-1 Koblerville was led by the 17 markers of Airson Atan.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Gualo Rai kept pace with Tanapag in the boys 18 after improving to 3-0 with its 101-17 demolition of San Vicente.<\/p>\n

Craig Padayao continued his high-flying act with 31 points and he was ably assisted by the 24 points of Leo Naraja. Jerald Aquino unloaded 14 markers in the third straight loss for San Vicente.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s division, Kagman kept San Jose winless after four games following a 40-18 victory.<\/p>\n

Kagman now is at 2-1 and was led by the 16 markers of Kaia Travilla. May Kay Alferos fired 12 markers for San Jose.<\/p>\n

Tanapag, meanwhile, notched its third win in four games in the boys 13 following a 48-26 victory over Finasisu, which lost its second game in three starts.<\/p>\n

Dale Garcia fired 18 points in the win, while Leon Duenas had 10 points in the loss.<\/p>\n
