Engineers lose in overtime against Caloys Boys, 119-110


What started as an early game celebration for the Engineers ended in disaster.

DLSU IE-98 lost a ten point lead in the last 6 minutes of play, and were eventually outscored by Caloys Boys in the extra period, losing to Caloys Boys, 119-110.

22 year old sensation Riel Cleofas led the way for the Boys with 33 points and 21 rebounds as he plowed his way through the Engineers defense.

Coach Franco Zarate had himself to blame after the game.

"It was my fault, I made my boys prepare hard for this game but I didn't really foresee the match up problems this team faced. Also, we didn't really do well on offense and it's really hard if our star player makes on a third of his shots... We made a valiant stand in our home court, and for that I commend the team in doing so" said Zarate to courtside reporters after the loss.

The Engineers fall to 5-8 in the Big 8 conference, only two games ahead of the surging Vicious Vixens (3-10).

"We will rest for awhile (because of the All-Star break), and look forward to getting another win in our next couple of games" said Mark Kriegshauser.

DLSU IE-98 - 110: Iturren - 30, Kriegshauser - 20, Quilao - 15, Montano - 14, Estil - 10, Velez - 8, Lea - 7, Cav - 6, Modino - 0, Jesus - 0

Caloys Boys - 199: Cleofas - 33, Gou - 23, Korzhenevskiy - 18, Maapni - 16, Nievas - 15, Gyurta - 7, Sardua - 4, Pediangco - 3, Pelasol - 0, Calizar - 0

Quarterscores: 25 - 21, 49 - 56, 73 - 83, 97 - 97, 119 - 110 (OT)

ALL-STAR BREAK SPECIAL

Iturren wins 3-point shootout, Kriegshauser and Estil nominated in the all-star ballot

Even if the Engineers are coping with the style of play in Div III, some players have started to show they have what it takes to play in the big stage.

It was an all-import finale, with Alvaro Iturren scoring 23 points against Antonio Piccinonno to win his first three point trophy after two attempts. "I'm so happy to win this competition, and this shows my dependability in taking the three" said Iturren. "I'm also helping with the shooting progress of DJ, Carey and Caesar in practice. It always helps to have a spot up three point shooter in the team, better if there were four of us who can do the same."

Elsewhere, Mark Kriegshauser and Luduvico Estil were nominated in this year's all star balloting. "Though we both fell short in making the team, we are both happy to be considered as part of the elite in our conference" said Kriegshauser. "We look forward to translating this success into wins in the future.

They will get their chance tomorrow, as the Engineers face the Lee Thal Angas at the Velasco Hall, 5:30PM.

GDS made the difference..

Kriegshauser does 31/15, Iturren hits 7 3-pointers, Engineers win against Lee Thal Angas 115-93

Australian double double machine Mark Kriegshauser has done it again for the Engineers.

Kriegshauser filled the stat sheet with 31 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block to lead the DLSU IE-98 Engineers against the Lee-Thal Angas, 115-93. Ace shooter Alvaro Iturren was also on fire from the three point line, making 7-10 shots to end the game with 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block.

It has been a stellar season for Kriegshauser, who prior to joining the Engineers was at the end of the bench hoping for playing time. "I'm very thankful for the organization who believed in my skills. I always knew I had it in me, and I'm looking forward to give more. Coach (Franco) Zarate has been a great mentor and I hope to have more seasons with him" said Kriegshauser during the post game press conference.

For Spanish shooter Alvaro Iturren, It's a great start after winning the 3-point shoot-out. "I always wanted to prove to myself that my U21 experience with the Spanish national team was no fluke, and I have what it take to play against the more experienced players in this league."

Note: 35 year old Slovenian import Kristjan Holderhan of Lee Thal Angas suffered a minor injury during the game and did not return. Holderhan finished the game with 1 point and 3 steals in 18 minutes of action. He is currently listed as day to day.

It's nice to know na may nagbabasa ng mga articles ko, and hopefully I get to stay here for sometime (aka, not be relegated back to Div IV) para marami pa ko maisulat. Mahirap kaya yung gagawa ka ng bagong thread dahil iba na ang league na sinalihan mo.

Gametime: DLSU IE-98 Engineers

If there is one thing coach Franco Zarate has in his mind now, it is how they will stay with Division III.

A season opening loss set the tone of the season for the Engineers as they had to scramble for lineup changes and use of proper tactics to ensure they stay competitive in Div III.7. Another two close losses against higher seeded teams means they could have enjoyed a 9-6 win-loss record. Instead, they are on the brink of playing a relegation series against either the Joshywoshy Basket Club or the LEE-Thal Angas.

"Sometimes it makes you wonder what might have been, but that's not going to help us now. What matters is what we do on the court and the output we give in all our games. We initially set a goal to make it to the top 5, but at the rate goldraider is playing, it seems our priority would now be to ensure we remain here come next season" said coach Zarate during a team workout last Monday.

The tough losses have also affected their star players. "If only I go turn back the hands of time and change the outcome of those games, we wouldn't be in this predicament now" said Mark Kriegshauser.

"We thought we could make it really big here in Division III and at one point even scoffed at the projected 6-16 record given by the analysts during the pre-season. Well, it seems they're right on the money" said team skipper Lucilo Quilao. "We will do our best to prove these analysts wrong. We hope to end our season with another 2-3 wins and hopefully make it past the relegation tournament."

With seven games left in the season, the Engineers will have their chance to improve their record.
