DLSU wins 65-60 and will face UE for the championship. The eagles played well but the archer’s poise kept the opponent at bay. After Ateneo grabbed the lead midway in the second quarter, La Salle bounced back to grab the lead back before the first half ended. Ateneo kept biting and biting but DLSU didn’t cringe thanks to Cholo Villanueva’s efforts.
