ALRON Alonzo scored a 21-11, 12-21, 21-14 victory over Krenz Valena as College of St. Benilde dethroned San Beda with a 2-1 win while crowning itself as the NCAA Season 100 men’s seniors champion at the Centro Atletico in Cubao, Quezon City yesterday.
The win was the Blazers’ second title in the event; they also reigned supreme nine years ago.
Michael Garcia delivered the first win for CSB with a 21-17, 21-14 triumph over Mel de Vera in the first singles match before San Beda’s Arjay Lazareto and Joaquin Pollentes knotted it up with a 21-14, 21-10 shellacking of Ronnie Mullet and Troy Oliveros in the doubles.
Alonzo wrapped it all up with that magnificent triumph in the deciding singles with a performance to remember.
“Nagbunga na din training ko,” said an emotional 23-year-old, third-year Computer Application student who trained under former national team mainstay Lloyd Escoses.
