Decisive victories were won on Sunday, September 28, 2025, when the Hoopsilonians Hardcourt Fellowship returned to action at the Epsilon Chi Center after a one-weekend break.

The day kicked off with a commanding performance by the Angry Brods, who overwhelmed NorthCom with a decisive 79-47 victory.

The Angry Brods showcased their depth, with Ali Shah 2023 leading the way with 36 points, while Ian Maribibi 2024 and Marius Rillo 2024 added 10 and 9 points, respectively.

Shooting only 21% from the field, the NorthCom cagers struggled to find their rhythm. Vonn Esteban 2022 led the losing cause 22 points.

TNE 115, Black Team 49

In the next game, TNE cruised to an easy 115-49 win over the Black Team, with their offense lighting up the scoreboard.

Gino Estebanlar 2018 led the way, scoring a season-high 47 points on 57% shooting, while Kevin Villanueva 2012 added 20 points.

With a strong start and shooting over 60% from the field, TNE capitalized on nearly every possession.

The Black Team, led by Kim Quintain 2013's 16 points, simply couldn't keep up with the offensive juggernaut that TNE brought to the court.

DOJ Barkada 81, Protego 61

The final game of the day saw the DOJ Barkada pull off a solid 81-61 victory over Protego.

DOJ’s defense and offense were in sync, capitalizing on an undermanned Protego Team limited to only five players for the game.

David Andres 2013 and Bam Manahan 2020 led the way, scoring 18 and 17 points, respectively. Carlo Roman 2012 and Eike Bolinao 2016 added 11 points each.

Even scoring, and a numbers advantage was enough to neutralize John Jacob Ang’s 2018 30 points and 20 rebounds.

As the elimination round is on it’s last few games, exciting action awaits as the teams fight for positioning in the standings, with all teams being just a game or two apart from one another.
