The Sanchez Sharks are now 3-0 in pool play for the GSPN pre-season basketball tournament after defeating the GW Geckos 57-44 Tuesday night at the FD Jungle. 

Jerfick Aunu scored 11 points for the Sharks, Ralph Macaldo chipped in 10. GW fell to 0-3 for the tournament with one more game remaining in pool play. 

The ND Royals notched their first win of the tournament with a 38-27 victory over the St John’s Knights. Tyler Concepcion scored 12 points to lead the Royals, Guifon Terlaje chipped in 10.
