MANILA -- De La Salle University quickly defeated the University of the Philippines, 25-21, 25-18, 25-18, for a share of third place in the UAAP Season 85 men's volleyball tournament at the Philsports Arena in Pasig on Sunday.

The Green Spikers are now tied with skidding Far Eastern University at 6-5, while the Fighting Maroons fell to 1-10, tied with Adamson University for last place.

"Nag-umpisa yung second round namin na nakalaban namin yung top three ng first round so at least nakaisa kami kahit papaano sa FEU," said Green Spikers head coach Arnold Laniog.

"Itong remaining games sabi ko sa players, tinalo natin sila nung first round pero hindi ibig sabihin tatalunin natin sila it depends pa rin kung gaano natin kagusto yung panalo," he added.
