New beginning: Cresta Verde Mountaineers notch first win, defeats Spaghetti Sauce 106-93

Vulcan Arena, Q.C. -- After two seasons in the Philippine Premier League (PPL) the Cresta Verde Mountaineers (previously Dahlia Mavericks) moved in Division II League 3. Dubbed as the "Brooklyn Nets" of Division II with a sky-high payroll, the Mountaineers did not disappoint as they trampled 'rival' CleMeNZas Spaghetti Sauce 106-93.

They set the pace early in the game outscouring the Sauce 31-20 in the first quarter. They paced themselves from there that coming out of the 1st half, CleMeNZas gunned them 36-22 in the 3rd leading 72-69 entering the 4th.

They got back in their senses that they 'dominated' the final quarter 37 to 21 en route to a convincing 106-93 victory.

"We are confident in our chances but we got to get our groove back!" GM Nicolo Maro exclaimed citing that their execution wasn't that crisp as they were expecting.

The Mountaineers opted to rebuild in the offseason acquiring 19y/o Steve Valle and 24y/o Jimeno Tamban. They sold previous lottery picks Usamah Vidal, Glenn Gulfan, Jomar Montallana and Pete Carim.

In this year's draft, they were able to snag with the 2nd overall pick hotshot Abelardo Lambatan and solidified their bench with Wenresti Gravoso. "Our philosophy is to give our draft picks a chance," Maro said. "we are happy with their performance in our first scrimmage that we will evaluate them further."

The Mavs first press conference focused on what they did (in the offseason), will do (moving forward) that there wasn't much interest on their first game. One noticeable difference between the two is that the Mountaineers crashed the boards (68 compared to 35) but the Sauce dialed from the outside (15-38 3FG) led by Marion Sedigo with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists (6-10 from 3FG).

Rosauro de la Cruz led them with an all-around performance with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. "I am now given the opportunity to lead this team," he said. "precisely why they added me mid-way last year."

National Team Player Apolonio Sepulveda and Rhyan Tersol had a double-double with 14 (points) & 14 (rebounds) and 14 & 13, respectively.


Player of the game: Rosauro de la Cruz - 27 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
Up next: at Balawis Elite
Rumors: The Mavs are not yet done with their roster. "Conyo" is still available and team captain Ananias Capuyan is not happy in the bench.
