The Lady Falcons are coming off a narrow 66-63 loss to the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons in their tournament opener.

Armed with lessons from their opening-day setback, Adamson is determined to play steadier and finish stronger as the Falcons chase their first victory of the season.
