This win secured UP a 6-2 record and a spot in the Finals, while UST, with a 3-5 record, is set to play a third-place game.
UP's head coach, Ron Pagkaliwagan, stated that while the win was good preparation, he is not yet satisfied and sees areas for improvement before the championship.
UP's offense was ignited in the fourth inning by Danica Aquino's successful bunt, leading to a scoring surge.
The UP Fighting Maroons will face the undefeated Adamson University in Game 1 of the Finals on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the UST Tiger Softbelles will play a third-place game against De La Salle University after the Lady Batters were shut out by Adamson University in a previous game.
