St. Dominic College of Asia’s (SDCA) Dominican Pikemen claimed the championship title at the 9th Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association (ISAA) Futsal tournament held at the SDCA Skyline Gymnasium on February 28.

However, they faced a tough challenge against the Manila Adventist College (MAC) Soaring Angels in the second stage due to a lack of ball possession.
