Enderun Titans recorded their first win after defeating the NU Bulldogs

Enderun’s hot-shooting from the outside propels them to a much-needed victory as they finally entered the winning column after defeating National University in the Pinoyliga Cup Collegiate Division Wednesday afternoon in Gatorade Hoops Centre.

The Bulldogs actually started strong and have not given any easy baskets to their opponents with Ken Padrones waxing hot and scoring 10 points for NU in the first quarter to lead by 5 after 10 minutes of action.

However, Enderun displayed disciplined basketball in the second and an AJ Fransman 3 at the 7:40 mark of the second gave them the lead, 29-27, as they turned the orders for good in their favor, 40-35, at the half.

The Enderun Titans didn't slow down from there as they gain a 16-point lead to end the third.

NU still tried to catch up but Enderun answered every run that NU did with Fransman leading the way to get the victory.

AJ Fransman took the spotlight by having 28 points with 7 rebounds to help his team get their first win. On his side, Joshel Gastador also helped his team with 15 points.

Ken Padrones scored team-high 18 points, Poul Palencielo with 12 in 5/7 shooting, and Joemaiko Gulapia scored 10 for the NU Bulldogs
