NU was on a mission to prove that their only loss during the elimination round was a fluke when they successfully obliterated a clueless Adamson team.

Unlike their previous match, Adamson did a better job competing against NU this time. Unfortunately, NU was just too good and too strong for the Adamson team. From the beginning of the 1^st set, NU set the pace by going on an early 4 – 3 lead. They were able to steadily increase the lead slowly thanks to powerful spikes from Tipay that Adamson was not able to deflect. With a 4-pt lead at 16 – 12, it was clear that NU meant business as they only allowed Adamson to score 4 more points. NU took the 1^st set, 21 – 16. Adamson was able to maintain a better pace during the 2^nd set as they were able to tie the game at 7 all. NU was again able to take the lead, but Adamson was right behind them at the 11 – 10 mark. This would be as close as Adamson would get to their opponents as NU would blitz them with powerful spikes and successful blocks to take a 20 – 15 lead. Adamson would score only 1 more point as they would fall, 21 – 16.

With this win, NU secures their spot in the finals to play a best of three against UST. NU was the only team to beat UST during the elimination round.
