MANILA, Philippines – The University of the Philippines’ Joe Gomez De Liaño made it two in a row as he defeated San Beda University’s Sean Garcia, 12-6, in the Hanes One-On-One King of the Hardcourt at the Filoil Flying V Centre on Monday. Gomez De Liaño, who in his first assignment defeated Arellano University’s Justin Araña, hit a long bomb of his own to retake the lead, 4-3. The eldest of the Gomez De Liaño brothers then scored a basket, but Garcia notched the count with a triple, 6-6. The 6’2” Gomez De Liaño retaliated with a conventional triple and a three-pointed to win the individual contest, 12-6, and to go 2-0. “It was a tough contest because he (Garcia) was staying close to me, and I just made some big shots,” said Gomez De Liaño.
