The Adamson Soaring Falcons will parade a new coach in their UAAP Season 87 men's volleyball opener against the Ateneo Blue Eagles.
New season, new system, but the same goal for Adamson.
The Soaring Falcons make their Season 87 debut in the curtain-raiser against the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the UAAP men’s volleyball tournament on Sunday, February 16, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Match time is at 9:00 a.m.
After finishing 4-10 last season and missing the Final Four for the second straight year, Adamson is eager to rise from the cellar and take first blood in this year’s campaign.
Behind new head coach Raffy Mosuela, the Soaring Falcons are hoping to make their tactical changes work from the get-go — opting for Jude Aguilar to play as an opposite spiker instead of a middle blocker, while Marc Pauliano transitions from an outside hitter to opposite.
Setter Laurence Domingo is also expected to take on a bigger leadership role in orchestrating the Falcons’ offense.
As added motivation, Adamson lost its final Season 86 game against Ateneo and should be eager to bounce back.
Can the Soaring Falcons clip the Blue Eagles' wings early?
