No team will remain winless as the Fighting Maroons snapped their 17-game losing skid and finally found their breakthrough to improves 1-6 in the standings. 

It was also new head coach Oliver Almadro’s first win at the helm. 

Steph Bustrillo carried the fight for the State U with 24 points highlighted by 24 attacks. Four other Fighting Maroons finished in double figured as the squad came through in the four-set win. 

Joan Monares and Irah Jaboneta both had 12 markers, while Nica Celis and Jan Baclay delivered 10 points apiece for the balanced display, which was exactly what UP needed to snatch the victory off the hands of UE. 

League-leading rookie Casiey Dongallo led all scorers to keep the side of the Lady Warriors afloat with 26 points off 23 attacks made which obviously went naught. 

Kayce Balingit was the other player in double figures for UP as they both covered the offensive production for the team. 

The Lady Warriors, once deemed as early strong contenders, fell to their sixth straight losses as their promising opening day victory against the Ateneo Blue Eagles turned out to be the last of them. 

Both squads settled for similar 1-6 records heading into the second round where they have to dig deeper to battle through the Final Four. 

Meanwhile, Far Eastern University strengthened its grip of the solo fourth spot after turning back Ateneo, 25-22, 22-25, 25-13, 25-21 in the earlier play. 

The Lady Tamaraws ended the early eliminations with important back-to-back victories for a 4-3 slate in the standings. 

FEU leaned on a strong defensive showing after posting a season-high 15 blocks. 

Chenie Tagaod topscored for the Tamaraws with 18 points she laced with 13 receptions and 10 digs, while Bakanke and Petallo had team-best four blocks each on their way to 12 and 10 points, respectively. 

Jean Asis also finished with 12 points on nine attacks, two blocks, and a service ace. 

The Blue Eagles fell to a tie with the Lady Falcons for fifth to sixth places at 2-5. 

De Guzman scored 14 in the losing cause while also getting 16 digs and 14 receptions. Sobe Buena and Geezel Tsunashima also chimed in 11 points apiece for Ateneo.
