Ron Dennison scored 13 points and Allen Trinidad 12 points to lead FEU. La Salle nearly dominated the entire game until FEU managed to narrow the gap to just a single digit. In the first game, National University (NU) beat University of the East (UE), 72-66, for its first victory, joining early winners Adamson University and Ateneo De Manila University. “Our defense really helped us win this game,” NU coach Eric Altamirano said during the post game news conference.
