UST's Aljon Mariano is Player of the Week

UST forward Aljon Mariano bagged the UAAP Press Corps Player of the Week award after starring in the biggest upset yet of the tournament.

Mariano, who sat out last year due to a fractured right ankle, unloaded 21 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the Tigers’ surprise win.

“When I came back, I really wanted to make a strong impact,” said the 6-foot-3 Mariano, who earned the citation given by sportswriters covering the collegiate beat and Accel 3XVI.

Mariano edged other top performers for the week including FEU’s Terrence Romeo, Ateneo’s Nico Salva, NU’s Ray Parks and La Salle’s Jeron Teng.
