The Blue Eagles opened their second-round campaign with a grueling 31-29, 22-25, 25-23, 26-24 upset of the Tamaraws while the Bulldogs won their seventh straight with a 25-18, 25-18, 25-19 sweep of the Adamson Soaring Falcson.

NU and FEU wound up sharing the top spot with identical 7-1 records 

Jude Garcia (19), Sean Padon (15), Richard Solis (15) and John Paul Bugaoan (11) combined for 60 points but their production were not enough as the Tamaraws saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end.
