On Tuesday, the Cardinals made their way back to the championship round after knocking off College of St. Benilde, 78-67, in the NCAA Season 99 men's basketball tournament at Mall of Asia Arena. The victory was another example of why Mapua is primed to finally end its long wait for a title, unlike its previous trip to the finals.
