The Ateneo Blue Eagles won its 12th straight game by defeating the UE Red Warriors, 78-71, to take Game 1 of their best-of-three championship series.

Ateneo senior center Rabeh Al-Hussaini waxed hot from the field, delivering 28 points and 14 rebounds, bringing the Eagles closer to their second straight UAAP seniors division championship. Senior guard Jai Reyes pumped in 17 points, while nailing 5 three-pointers in the second half.

Ateneo will try to gun for the title via a series sweep in Game 2, scheduled this Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.
