Luther Leonard shined with 14 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and a block while Joseph Nalos added 11 points as the Webmasters upended the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Jaguars, 64-55, to take the solo lead in college division with a 7-1 win-loss record.

John Cark Angelio grabbed 11 rebounds to go with his eight points for the Webmasters, who were down by eight, 4-12, in the early goings but never looked back after wresting the driver’s seat, 36-32, at halftime.

It was cruise control from there for the Webmasters, who led by as much as 14 points, 62-48, midway in the fourth period.

The Cheetahs, on the other hand, overhauled a 13-point deficit in the opening quarter on the way to hand the Lancers their worst defeat of the season, 76-65.
