The Red Warriors took control of the game in the second salvo and never looked back, leaning on the scoring of Philip Manalang and Edson Batiller who both finished with 14 markers.
Fighting Maroons skipper Jett Manuel tallied 14. Dave Moralde and Henry Asilum combined for 18. All three are graduating this season.
UP's first win and last loss of the year came in the hands of the UE.
