The Adamson Lady Falcons hope to build momentum as they face defending champions NU in UAAP Season 88 women's basketball action.
Fresh from a breakthrough victory, Cheska Apag and the Adamson Lady Falcons look to build on their momentum when they face the defending champion NU Lady Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, October 8.
Tip off is 12:00 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The Lady Falcons finally broke through last weekend, toppling FEU to earn their first win of the season.
Apag starred in that game with 18 points, spearheading the charge that gave Adamson a much-needed boost after back-to-back losses to open Season 88.
Now at 1-2, Adamson hopes to follow up that win with a statement performance against the powerhouse NU squad.
The Lady Bulldogs, currently 2-1, are also coming off a strong victory against UP after stumbling earlier against UST.
To pull off an upset, Adamson will need another strong showing from Apag, alongside solid contributions from their veteran core to contain NU’s Karl Pingol, who had a double-double in their last outing.
With confidence growing, the Lady Falcons aim to make it two in a row — and prove they can hang with the league’s elite.
