Posted on Aug 10 2022
EcoOil La Salle bags 2022 PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup title with a 91 - 78 score on their Game 3 vs Marinerong Pilipino last August 31, 2022.
EcoOil went all out in support of the finals game at the Smart Arenta Coliseum. Headed by Coach Derrick Pumaren, EcoOil La Salle won its first PBA D-League championship title.
It wasn't an easy journey for the team as De La Salle Universities' Top 3 players: Deschon Winston, Evan Nelle, and Mark Nonoy weren't able to play on the eliminations. But the team remained strong with the lead from Mike and Ben Phillips, Bright Nwanko, CJ Austria, Joaqui Manuel, Penny Estacio, JC Macalalag, Emman Galman, Francis Escandor & Aaron Buensalida. And was further fortified by Team Gilas player Kevin Quimbao's debut on the league.
EcoOil La Salle remained victorious and readies for UAAP Season 85 this year.
Here's the wrap up from the championship game:
