Alyssa Solomon led NU with 13 points, while Bella Belen contributed 12 points, with Vange Alinsug and Erin Pangilinan adding 11 and 10 points respectively.

Despite the twice-to-beat incentive, NU coach Norman Miguel stressed the importance of playing at 100% from Game 1 of the semifinals, reminding his team not to be complacent.
Miguel also highlighted the need for the Lady Bulldogs to improve their skills, passing, blocking, setter-spiker connection, and conditioning.
