The Lady Tamaraws simply had no answer for a La Salle team that was raring to bounce back from a four-set loss the arch-rival Ateneo de Manila University. Toni Rose Basas registered their lone attack point -- a kill that made it 11-3 -- but FEU then surrendered 11 unanswered points to the Lady Spikers.

It took a mishit by Desiree Cheng to give FEU its fourth point, and a service error by Aduke Ogunsanya to give them their fifth. All in all, four of the Lady Tamaraws' five points in the set were from the Lady Spikers' errors, and not through any work of their own.
