"It feels great, especially since we've missed football for the last few years," said Vince

Santos, who
celebrated his first title as head coach of the Morayta school. "It's such a rewarding feeling to rebuild
the program almost from scratch and achieve victories this year for both the juniors and the men's
team."

FEU's win was even more satisfying as they suffered 1-0 defeats against Ateneo on March 16 and
April 13.

Galen Fernandez gave the Blue Eagles hope in the 66th minute with a stunning volley, but that was
the best Ateneo could do to stage a comeback.

The Tamaraws also claimed several individual awards. Pabualan was named Best Midfielder and
Best Striker, finishing as the league's top scorer with eight goals this season. Absalon, who scored
five goals, was named Rookie of the Year. Defender and captain Viejay Frigillano was named Most
Valuable Player for Season 85.

On the other hand, Ateneo's Artuz Cezar and Ildefonso Escobin were honored with the Best
Goalkeeper and Best Defender awards, respectively, for their contribution to helping the Blue Eagles
keep seven clean sheets this season.

University of the East earned the Fair Play Award for having no direct red cards and the fewest
suspensions in the league.
