“Siguro nakakuha kami ng dalawang panalo dahil na-lessen yung mga errors namin,” said reigning MVP Varga.

NU posted its second straight win after a shock season-opening defeat to De La Salle as James Buytago and Pol Salvador overcame University of the Philippines’ Daniel Nicolas and Louis Gamban, 19-21, 21-19, 15-9.
