Meralco, MCFASolver make presence felt
Meralco and MCFASolver swept their way to the Leg 5 quarterfinals of the Philippine Basketball Association 3×3 Second Conference on Monday at the Ayala Mall Fairview Terraces.
The Bolts topped Pool B with a 3-0 record, while the Tech Centrale did the same in Pool A at 2-0 as they were among the early teams to advance in the knockout stage set Tuesday.
Jeff Manday went on a scoring spree in the final minutes of Meralco's 18-17 win over Purefoods that formalized its entry into the next round.
Manday finished with nine points and helped preserve the unbeaten slate of the Bolts, who escaped with the thrilling victory after a last-second turnover committed by the Titans.
The Bolts earlier defeated San Miguel, 22-14, and Terrafirma, 21-13.

Still in the running are Terrafirma, San Miguel and Purefoods in Pool B, and Pioneer, Northport, TNT and Barangay Ginebra in Pool C.
