This is NU's sixth overall championship in the UAAP.

Owa Retamar, who was named as Finals Most Valuable Player, had three points and 26 excellent sets.

UST finished as first runner-up after pulling off a rare upset from a no. 4 seed against the top-seeded Far Eastern University. Far Eastern University, who was ousted by UST, claimed third place by virtue of being the first seed in the Final Four.
