Defending champion Colegio de San Juan de Letran exacted revenge on Arellano University with a 65-53 win in Season 98 NCAA men's basketball tournament on Friday.

It was the Knights' fifth straight victory and eighth overall as they got back at the Chiefs, who beat them in the first round.

King Caralipio led Letran with a double-double 13 points and 13 rebounds, as Fran Yu scored 12 points to go with his 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Kurt Reyson added 8 points, 4 boards and 3 assists, while Paolo Javillonar notched 7 markers.

Letran appeared headed for a trouble-free win, but Arellano managed to pull within two points, 55-53, with 1:42 left in the clock, courtesy of Cade Flores.

But the Knights responded with a 10-0 finishing kick to seal the deal.

Flores tallied 15 markers for the Chiefs to go with his 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and a block.

Letran will next take on San Sebastian College-Recoletos on Sunday, while Arellano squares off with Jose Rizal University on the same date.
