San Sebastian routed College of Saint Benilde, 83-60, to boost its quarterfinal bid in the 2010 Filoil Flying V Tanduay First Five Preseason Invitational Cup Friday at The Arena in San Juan.

With Calvin Abueva, Rey Gorospe and Pamboy Raymundo leading the charge, the defending NCAA champions asserted their might early and built leads as huge as 31 points in the second half en route to their fourth win in five games, a record good enough for solo second spot in Group B behind leader Jose Rizal University.

It was the second straight triumph for the Recto-based dribblers, who recovered from an embarrassing 93-88 overtime loss to the RP U-18 team two weeks ago.

Abueva paced San Sebastian with 14 points while Gorospe and point guard Raymundo added 12 apiece with shooting guard Jonathan Semira adding 10. — Jonas Terrado
