San Beda surged to a 17-1 start behind Nelle, Canlas, Doliguez, Donald Tankoua, and John Bahio but Letran rallied and tied the game at 42-42 in the third.
San Beda then responded with a 20-0 blast behind Oftana and Doliguez and built a 62-42 lead late in the quarter.
“At least nakarecover kami (At least, we recovered),” said San Beda head coach Boyet Fernandez. “The effort of the players should be credited for this win.”
