Later, Far Eastern University beat National University, 25-23, 26-24, 25-10, to even its record to 3-3.

Paat, who tallied six blocks, shared the scoring mantle with Amanda Villanueva, who also had 15 points, including three blocks, and collected nine digs for Adamson.

The Tigresses took the second set behind rookies Cherry Rondina and EJ Laure, but the Lady Falcons got back into the groove of things behind Paat, Villanueva and Jessica Galanza to book their third straight win.
