Mathew Rubico returns home to LPU after two years in La Salle
NCAA By BEA MICALLER,GMA Integrated News Matthew Rubico is making a homecoming in Intramuros as he returns to Lyceum of the Philippines University. The former NCAA high school standout confirmed that he is leaving De La Salle University in the UAAP after a two-year stay with the Green Archers to rejoin the LPU Pirates in their bid to win an elusive title. For Rubico, coming back to where it all started for him was a no-brainer as he is confident he can bring out his full potential under the guidance of LPU head coach Gilbert Malabanan. "Kaya po napili ko bumalik sa LPU kasi nararamdaman ko po na du'n ko po mas maipapakita 'yung talent na natutunan ko sa ilang taong pag-eensayo," Rubico told GMA News Online on Monday. "Sa tulong po ng mga coaches and mga magiging ka-teammates ko po, feel ko po na matutulungan po nila ako ilabas 'yung full potential ko." Rubico was a scoring machine in the juniors ranks, once erupting for a 43-point explosion back in Season 98 with the LPU Junior Pirates. His offensive onslaught earned him an inclusion in that edition's Mythical Five alongside Luis Pablo, Seven Gagate, Chris Hubilla, Amiel Acido, and Andy Gemao. He then decided to bring his act to the UAAP after joining La Salle. He sat out Season 86, where the Green Archers captured the crown against University of the Philippines. He was lined up in the recent Season 87, but the Taft crew faltered in their title defense after bowing to the Fighting Maroons in the finals. The young guard, though, feels his future is in LPU. He is now linked up with the Pirates anew as he looks to lead the rebirth of LPU after missing out on the Final Four last year. "Nakikita ko po na magfi-fit naman po ako sa sistema ni Coach Gilbert. Kasi 'yung laro po nila is takbuhan, 'yun po 'yung gusto ko at nakasanayan ko na din po," Rubico added. "Kasi sa DLSU halos ganon din naman po'yung system namin. And gusto ko lang din po mag pasalamat sa DLSU, kay Coach Topex (Robinson), sa coaching staff, sa mga naging teammates ko, and sa mga managers po, maraming salamat po sainyong lahat. Marami po akong natutunan sa inyo na babaunin ko po sa buong basketball career ko at sa buong buhay ko." —JKC, GMA Integrated News

LPU survives Benilde in five-setter to wrap season on high note
NCAA Lyceum of the Philippines University survived league-leading De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, 25-20, 15-25, 25-23, 23-25, 17-15, to wrap its campaign in the NCAA Season 100 men's volleyball tournament on Friday at the Filoil Centre in San Juan. The two teams were tied at 12 in the fifth set before an unsuccessful block touch challenge and an attack error from LPU handed the Blazers the match point. Raymark Betco's service, however, went out, then Jun Edang scored back-to-back to hand LPU a 15-14 lead. Kevin Ondevilla then tied the set anew for the Blazers, but it was Edang who eventually sealed the victory for the Pirates. Graduating Kian Moral, meanwhile, had 20 digs and 20 receptions. Edang had 29 points from 27 attacks and two blocks, while Isaiah Chrys Santos had 18 points as the Intramuros-based crew finished the season on a high note and improved their record to 3-15. Dexter Granadia and James Harold Marasigan led the Taft-based squad with 17 and 16 points, respectively, as they still finished on top with 14 wins and four losses. Rocky Motol and Mike Balbacal saw limited action in preparation for their Final Four match, while Jacob Agassi Herrera was temporarily sidelined due to a knee issue. Christian Aguilar, meanwhile, was converted to libero for today's game due to shoulder issues. Benilde, who earned a twice-to-beat bonus as the no. 1 team, will take on Colegio de San Juan de Letran in the Final Four on Sunday. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Arellano survives LPU in five-setter ahead of NCAA men's volleyball Final Four
NCAA Arellano University survived a gritty Lyceum of the Philippines University squad, 23-25, 25-10, 20-25, 25-22, 15-8, to end its elimination round campaign on a high note on Tuesday in the NCAA Season 100 men's volleyball tournament at the Filoil Centre in San Juan. After claiming the fourth set to even the match, the Chiefs had an early 5-1 lead before they pulled away, 11-6. Carl Berdal then widened the lead for the Chiefs before an ace from AC Guinto put them at 13. Jun Edang then tried to trim LPU's deficit, which was followed by an attack error from Berdal for LPU to score two straight. However, Berdal scored back-to-back to seal the victory for the Chiefs. The duo of Berdal and Guinto led Arellano in offense with 22 points and 20 points, with the former having eight digs, while the latter had 20 receptions. Jiwen Sinuto added 15 points, while Jake Pangilinan chipped in 13 points as Adrian Villados made all of Arellano's 25 excellent sets on top of his four-point output. For head coach Bryan Vitug, the win was important especially with the Final Four round coming. "Good thing at least papasok ng Final Four, alam nila paano kumapit kahit during bad games. 'Yun ang mahalaga, nag-recover," Vitug said. Jun Edang's 23 points went to naught, while Isaiah Chrys Santos added 17 points as LPU slipped to 2-15. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
