The unbeaten Adamson Lady Falcons brace for a major early-season test when they face the two-time defending champion NU Lady Bulldogs in UAAP Season 88 on Wednesday, February 18.

The game has an early statt at 11:00 a.m. from the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.

Fresh off a strong opening win, the Lady Falcons (1-0) showed balance and composure—qualities they’ll need against the reigning queens of the league. 

Adamson leaned on a well-rounded attack in its season debut, with Frances Mordi delivering 14 points in the victory over Ateneo.

 

 

Mordi will once again be counted on to provide stability and scoring punch as Adamson looks to prove it can hang with the best.

But standing in their way is a loaded NU squad hungry to extend its dominance.

For Adamson, this matchup is more than just Game 2—it’s an early measuring stick against the standard of UAAP women’s volleyball.
