Former PBA player Renren Ritualo Jr. and former league board chairman Mikee Romero were among those inducted into De La Salle University's (DLSU) "Hall of Fame" Thursday night.

They were among the eight personalities inducted in the "Hall" during the 7th One La Salle Night of Excellence in a special ceremony held online, according to PBA.ph.

Romero is the team owner of NorthPort Batang Pier and the House Deputy Speaker representing 1Pacman Partylist, while Ritualo was a former Rookie of the Year, and a two-time All-Star who played for Talk 'N Text.

Ritualo, the son of PBA pioneer Florendo Ritualo Sr., was cited for being one of La Salle's most successful basketball players with UAAP men's basketball championships from 1997 to 2001. He was also Finals MVP in his farewell season with the Green Archers.

Romero, meanwhile, was recognized for his leadership in the field of basketball including the PBA, the Philippine Basketball League (PBL), WPBL, Asean Basketball League (ABL), and the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP).

Two other PBA players were also honored Thursday night.

Feted with a Lasallian Sports Achievement Award were the Alaska duo of JVee Casio and Jeron Alvin Teng.

Casio won a UAAP championship with the Green Archers in 2007, while Teng bagged two UAAP men's titles with the Taft-based university in 2013 and 2016.

MANILA -- Philippine Navy and Discovery aim to extend their winning streak to three on Sunday as they take on struggling opponents in the Women's Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (WMPBL) Invitational Tournament at the Central Recreation and Fitness Center in Quezon City.

The Lady Sailors will seek their fifth win in six games to maintain their position atop the standings in this tournament, which is backed by Manny Pacquiao, Senator Francis Tolentino, and the MPBL Partylist.

They face the winless PSP Lady Gymers (0-4) at 8 p.m.

Meanwhile, Perlas will open the day's action against the EZ Jersey Relentless, who are still searching for their first victory after dropping their first three games.

Navy, supported by Kalos PH and Go for Gold, is coming off dominant wins over Solar Home (94-46) and FEU (76-61).

Leading the Lady Sailors in this tournament—also backed by Uratex, Discovery Suites, Red Dynasty, Gotobox, Gerry's Grill, Prettiest, Team Graphitee, Evo Performance Helmets, Ryzen Helmets, Katinko, Dorayd, Sogo Hotel, Global Bosny Manufacturing, and Bavin—are the dynamic duo of Afril Bernardino and Gemma Miranda.

Discovery (2-1), on the other hand, is coming off an 18-day break—a much-needed rest for the veteran-laden squad led by Allana Lim, Camille Sambile, and Raiza Palmera-Dy.

In the 6 p.m. game, the Imus Lady Magdalo will attempt to snap their two-game losing streak and even their record as they face the Solar Home Suns, who are still searching for their first win in four outings.
