Ateneo De Manila University relied on a strong fourth period showing as it repulsed a tenacious University of the Philippines (UP), 96-82, to move one win within an elimination round sweep in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 80 men's basketball tournament on Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum.
