At 7-3, the Katipunan-based squad sit in solo third place, holding a comfortable three-game lead over rivals La Salle and FEU, who both stand at 4-6.
Ateneo enters the UST rematch riding on back-to-back wins, fresh off an 81-57 dismantling of the UE Lady Warriors.
Two-time reigning MVP Kacey Dela Rosa led the charge with 19 points, while Hannah Lopez added 18 on 7-of-13 shooting, contributing two steals.
To move even closer to their goal, however, the Blue Eagles will need to find a way to contain the UST Growling Tigresses, who are already playoff-bound and boast a flawless 11-0 record.
