(CNN Philippines, April 9) — Virginia Cavaliers' Kihei Clark is the second Filipino-American to capture an NCAA men's seniors basketball championship.

Virginia was crowned national champions Tuesday after beating the Virginia Tech Red Raiders in overtime, 85-77, in Minneapolis. This is the school's first title in program history.

Clark contributed three points, four assists, and two rebounds in 33 minutes of action for the Cavaliers.

The 19-year-old freshman point guard followed the footstep of Raymond Townsend who won the U.S. national title with the UCLA Bruins in 1975.

The family of Clark's mother is from Ilocos.
