DLSU struggled early, dropping three of its first five games, but the Green Archers have since surged with three straight wins.
Their latest triumph came over the UST as an explosive start proved enough to carry them through.
JC Macalalag led the charge with 18 points, four rebounds, and three assists as Jacob Cortez added 12 points and Vhoris Marasigan and Earl Abadam chipped in 10 points each.

This marks the first meeting between the teams since La Salle’s 111-110 overtime comeback in Round 1, a contest marred by Wello Lingolingo’s ejection for a disqualifying foul after landing on Kean Baclaan’s right knee that led to the former’s ongoing three-game suspension.
