With their Final Four hopes fading, it’s basically do-or-die time for the Adamson Soaring Falcons moving forward.

The San Marcelino-based squad hope to snap a two-game skid with a big challenge ahead in the form of four-time defending champion NU Bulldogs in the UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament, Sunday, April 6, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Sitting at no. 7 in the team standings, Adamson is in must-win mode in the final four games in hopes of improving a 2-8 record.

The Soaring Falcons suffered a sixth defeat in the last seven games after bowing down to the UST Golden Spikers last time out.

 

No Adamson player reached double-digit scoring as Jude Aguilar and Ricardo Obeda tallied four points apiece to lead the team.

Dan Gutierrez, Marc Paulino, and Joel Menor contributed three markers each as Adamson endured a sixth consecutive loss to UST.

Looking for a major upset, game time for Adamson vs NU is set for 11:00 a.m.
