Still finding its new leaders, a balanced Far Eastern University dealt Perpetual Help its first loss in the 2016 Filoil Flying V Preseason Premier Cup with a 62-57 decision at Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.

Brandrey Bienes had 10 points off the bench in the Tamaraws’ all-out attack.

“I’m happy not because of the win, but because I see improvements. It’s something that we always preach to them, so every day is a chance to improve,” said coach Nash Racela.

FEU held a 60-51 lead in the final 2:15 before a late surge from the Altas trimmed the lead to just three, 60-57, in the last 13.1 seconds thanks to a three pointer from Gab Dagangon and a fastbreak layup from AJ Coronel.
