Boysen had a huge lift from ABU newcomers Roderick Zagala and Jojo Mercado, as well as crucial clutch baskets from beyond the rainbow arc by John Santiago, to stave off Multiline and claim their first win, 81-78.

Galano went for 15 points and 5 rebounds, while Olan put in 8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 steals.
