Winners of five of their last six meetings, the Adamson Soaring Falcons hope to remain the puzzle the UP Fighting Maroons could not solve.
Eager to put an end to a three-game skid are the Adamson Soaring Falcons, who are set in a collision course with the UP Fighting Maroon in UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament, Sunday, March 16, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City.
Serving time is at 9:00 a.m.
It will be Adamson's final assignment in the opening round, as the San Marcelino-based squad is still in the hunt for their second win.
Adamson wasted a 2-0 set lead before folding to the four-time defending champion NU Bulldogs in a gritty five-setter in their last outing.
Jude Aguilar came up with the game of his life after a career-best 26-point outing, but it was not enough to pull off a stunning victory.
Mark Paulino fired 19 points while Leo Coguimbal added 12 markers.
Sitting at 1-5 in the sixth spot, now is the perfect time for Soaring Falcons to launch a second-half Final Four push.
