Next on the hardcourt were Kiana De Asis and Melody Dizon donning green and white to close the match in straight sets, 2-0. Baste withdrew from the third set and handed Benilde a 3-0 run.

In similar fashion, Marco Macalintal dictated play against Las Piñas’ Sherwin Nuguit and finished the job, 2-0. The Taft squad sent in Andrew Garcia Jr. and Pete Rodriguez against the men in maroon and gold’s Al Balazo and Kurt Bandoliz. The Perpetual Acers attempted a last-minute revival and pushed for a decider but Taft’s tag team proved too much, 2-0. UPHSD handed Benilde a default to complete the match, 3-0.
