Last season was a harsh reality check as Adamson managed only two wins in 14 matches, finishing second from the bottom and enduring another year of rebuilding pains.
Since their Final Four breakthrough in Season 81, the Soaring Falcons have been searching for the spark that once made them contenders, collecting just eight victories across the past three seasons.
Still, a new season brings new belief.
With Maruel Tan leading the charge, Adamson steps onto the floor carrying both lessons and hunger and a strong opening statement against Ateneo could signal a different story for the Soaring Falcons this season.
Will the first “Battle of the Birds” this Season 88 swing in Adamson’s favor?
