The Lady Tamaraws held a safe 11-point lead with 1:46 remaining in the fourth quarter after a basket by Jack Tanaman. However, the Lady Maroons decided to keep things interesting by going on a 5-0 run fueled by Bea Daez and Antonio Wong. In the end, it was not enough to steal the game away from FEU.
