MANILA, Philippines — NOEL Kampton may have been celebrating his 25th birthday, but he was the one who gave De La Salle University a crucial victory.

Behind Kampton's explosive 27-point performance—23 attacks, three blocks, and one ace, along with 12 excellent receptions—and substitute Yoyong Mendoza's clutch heroics, the Green Spikers outlasted archrival Ateneo de Manila University in a five-set thriller, 21-25, 25-18, 21-25, 25-22, 27-25. The victory forged a tie for third place in the UAAP Season 87 Men's Volleyball Tournament on Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum.
