MANILA, Philippines -- Far Eastern University halted Ateneo's unbeaten run in a 72-66 stunner in the 71st University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) season Thursday at the Araneta Coliseum.

Aldrech Ramos buried a key jumper in the last 47.7 seconds to give the Tamaraws a 67-66 lead after trailing almost the entire game.

The victory spoiled the phenomenal performance of Ateneo big man Rabeh Al-Hussaini, who scored a season-high 33 points and grabbed 20 rebounds.

The Tamaraws, who bagged their fourth straight win, forged a three-way tie for the top spot with the Eagles and La Salle Green Archers at 5-1.
