The Adamson Lady Falcons seek consistency and will attempt to blemish the UST Growling Tigresses' record for the first time in UAAP Season 88.
Cheska Apag and the Adamson Lady Falcons look to pull off a massive upset when they face the unbeaten UST Growling Tigresses in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, October 29, at 12 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
After a confidence-boosting win over UE, the Lady Falcons (3-5) are eager to prove they can hang with the league’s best.
Apag, who starred with 16 points and a steal in their last game, will be relied upon once again to ignite Adamson’s offense and steady their composure against a UST team that has yet to lose this season.
Under the guidance of head coach Jed Colonia, Adamson hopes to sustain momentum and show growth as they chase consistency entering the stretch run of the tournament.
The Growling Tigresses (8-0), meanwhile, remain the standard in UAAP Season 88.
Agatha Bron led UST’s balanced attack in their last game against La Salle with 15 points, five rebounds, and a steal, as the España-based squad now sets its sights on a ninth straight victory that would put them on the cusp of a Final Four berth.
Adamson will need to play its most disciplined game yet to challenge the high-powered Tigresses, but the Lady Falcons have shown flashes of grit that could make this an intriguing battle.
