EMILIO Aguinaldo College (EAC) rookie guard Joshua Tolentino buried a crucial jumper with 18.6 seconds left in the game that helped seal the 59-53 win by the Generals against the Altas of University of Perpetual Help System Dalta in the NCAA Season 98 men's basketball tournament on Tuesday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.

That jumper by Tolentino — just his second field goal in nine attempts — gave EAC a 57-53 lead. In the next play, Jelo Razon missed a three-point attempt as the Generals secured the defensive rebound and snapped a four-game losing skid.
