Angel Canino delivered a season-high 27 points, including two blocks, 13 digs, and 13 receptions, to lead the Lady Spikers.
Despite experiencing dizziness from an accidental blow to the head early in the fourth set, Canino persevered and powered La Salle to the win.
The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for La Salle against UST, who had swept them in the first round.
Coach Ramil de Jesus's motivational words during the final timeout emphasizing self-belief and presence of mind energized the Lady Spikers.
La Salle secured the win with key plays from Canino and Shevana Laput, preventing a season sweep by UST.
After the game, Canino was taken to Makati Medical Center due to her condition.
The victory improved De La Salle's record to 6-3, while UST suffered their fourth straight loss, dropping to a 5-4 standing.
