SSL MVP Alyssa Solomon and UAAP MVP Bella Belen led the Lady Bulldogs with 11 points each, while Vange Alinsug contributed 10 points.
NU's performance, which included 41 attack points and nine service winners, showcased their improving stability under coach Sherwin Meneses.
This victory, achieved in the second round of the Shakey's Super League Collegiate Pre-Season Championship, concluded NU's Pool E play with a 2-1 win-loss record.
They earned a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals, finishing second in Pool E behind unbeaten La Salle.
La Salle had previously ended NU's 28-game winning streak before NU strung together two straight wins to clinch their incentive.
