A heavyweight tilt took place tonight as Rose locked horns with CEPS in playoff action and early on we had a close game as both teams had a sense of urgency but CEPS turned up the offensive intensity in the second stanza and completely paralyzed Rose as they ran away late and advanced with a hard-earned 63-45 decision. Nicolas Delourmel had a solid outing for CEPS as he netted 19 points. Tyron Francois scored 12 for Rose. In their first season, Rose proved to be a force to be reckoned with and hopefully we see them in the near future.
