MANILA, Philippines–Far Eastern University averted a losing streak with a confidence-boosting win over San Beda, 82-73,  in Group B of the Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup in San Juan Arena on Wednesday.

Coming off a loss on Tuesday against University of the Philippines in the PBA D-League’s Aspirants Cup, the Tamaraws were more motivated in garnering a win.
