The UE Red Warriors toppled the defending champions DLSU Green Archers in a surprising fashion brought by a dominant first half run.
The UE Red Warriors won back-to-back games, with the latest victim surprisingly becoming the defending champions DLSU Green Archers, 75-71, last Sunday.
UE's shock and awe opener of a first half gave them a cushion lead against the Green Archers, who struggled to keep the distance in the second quarter.
Though DLSU rallied late with a 12-2 run in the fourth, it was not enough to thwart the Red Warriors, sealing the game with John Abate's two free throws.
UE improves to 2-2, while DLSU drops to second with a 3-1 record behind the spotless UP Fighting Maroons.
