Nelson Mariano III headed UEs charge which resulted to a 4-0 shutout of University of Santo Tomas Saturday and a 3-1 rout of Ateneo Sunday and with 26.0 points clinched its second championship in a row.
National University, which led in most parts of the tournament participated in by five of the UAAP member schools, was relegated to a runner-up finish with 24.5 points, capping its campaign at the UE Briefing Room Saturday with a 4-0 shutout of La Salle Zobel.
Ateneo wound up third overall with 19.0 points, followed by UST with 9.0 and L Salle Zobel with 1.5 points.
