Jeron Teng led the Archers attack against the FEU Tamaraws, the undefeated team during the first round of elimination. The Archers came into the semis with a twice-to-beat advantage against the Tamaraws.
The Taft-based cagers proved once and for all that they are a team to beat in UAAP Season 76 and the Green Archers will return to the finals since missing the last five seasons. The last time that La Salle made it to the Finals was way back the Season 71 of the UAAP.
La Salle is now waiting for the winner of the National University Bulldogs and the University of Sto. Tomas Growling Tigers which will face off this coming Saturday, September 28, 2013.
