Perpetual Help Clinches Historic First NCAA Basketball Title

The University of Perpetual Help Junior Altas defeated La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) 101-67 in Game 3 to win the NCAA Season 100 juniors basketball championship.

This marks Perpetual Help's first NCAA basketball championship in either the seniors' or juniors' division since joining the league in 1984, achieved after bouncing back from a Game 2 loss.

The Junior Altas dominated the elimination round with an 8-1 record, finished atop the standings, and then defeated San Beda in the Final Four.

In the finals series, Perpetual won Game 1 with clutch plays but saw victory slip away in Game 2 due to late heroics by LSGH before securing the title with a dominant Game 3 victory, spearheaded by league MVP Lebron Jhames Daep.

La Salle Green Hills also had an admirable run, defeating higher-seeded Letran in the Final Four and pushing Perpetual to the limit in the finals.
