Penny Estacio leaves La Salle, transfers to San Beda


After just one season in Taft, guard Penny Estacio has decided to leave De La Salle University and jump ship to San Beda University in the NCAA.

"I'm truly grateful for the trust they bestowed upon me during my rookie year," said the 20-year-old Estacio.

"My time at DLSU provided me with invaluable lessons, and I'm carrying them with me wherever I go."

Estacio played a crucial role in the Green Archers' run in UAAP Season 85, though they fell short of a Final Four spot after finishing fifth with a 7-7 record.

He posted averages of 4.77 points, 1.62 rebounds, and 1.69 assists per game.

In San Beda, Estacio will get to team up with the likes of Jacob Cortez and Yukien Andrada as the Red Lions look to reclaim the championship in the NCAA.

"I opted for San Beda because, from a practical standpoint, it offers me the most opportunities. Additionally, I'm acquainted with the school and the people, having studied here during my high school years," he said

"I'm also thrilled about reuniting with my Season 100 teammates, and I'm eagerly anticipating the chance to play alongside my former teammates once again. This is something I'm eagerly looking forward to."
