In response, Magallano tallied 4 points of her own, tying the game at 5 all. No team would be able to gain the edge afterwards as the game was eventually tied at 9.

With FEU ahead, 18 – 11, NU never really challenged them as they went on to win, 21 – 16. The 2nd set was an even bigger letdown for the NU squad as they were outscored 12 – 2 by FEU, 11 of those points came from Duquilla. There was not much Cuilao and her partner could do as they dropped the set, 21 – 7.
