Team captain Jelord Talisayan was a key contributor with 11 points, supported by Lirick Mendoza (10 points) and a balanced offensive effort from Mikko Espartero, Dryx Saavedra, and Doula Ndongala.
Benny Martinez facilitated FEU's offense with 17 excellent sets, while the Ultras capitalized on La Salle's 28 unforced errors.
La Salle attempted to force a fourth set after a two-set deficit, but crucial errors from MJ Fortuna and Joshua Magalaman in the final set sealed their fate.
