Ateneo currently sits third at 6–3 behind playoff-bound UST (9–0) and defending champion NU (9–1).
With two semifinal berths already clinched, the Blue Eagles are in a strong position to secure one of the remaining two spots, especially following an 82–70 bounce-back win over the FEU Lady Tamaraws.
Reigning two-time MVP Kacey Dela Rosa delivered a dominant 21-point, 23-rebound double-double in that wire-to-wire victory, adding three blocks and three assists.
The win helped Ateneo create a two-game cushion over FEU (4–5) for solo third place in the eight-team standings.
With UE standing in their way, a victory would move the Blue Eagles closer to a playoff spot while completing a season sweep of the Lady Warriors.
