Defending champions NU Lady Bulldogs seek quick entry into the UAAP Season 87 Final Four with a win over the struggling Adamson Lady Falcons.
Alyssa Solomon and the NU Lady Bulldogs aim to punch their ticket to the UAAP Season 87 Final Four when they take on the dangerous Adamson Lady Falcons on Sunday, April 6, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Coming off a dominant 30-point performance, Solomon hopes to continue her scoring tear as NU (9-1) looks to build momentum toward the business end of the eliminations.
The Lady Bulldogs were briefly slowed down midway through the season but have since rediscovered their groove, just in time for a crucial stretch that could solidify their semifinal standing.
Standing in their way, however, is an Adamson squad fighting for survival.
Despite a 3-7 slate, the Lady Falcons showed signs of life in their recent five-set thriller against UST.
Rookie phenom Shaina Nitura exploded for 36 points in that loss and will once again carry the scoring mantle as Adamson tries to keep its flickering Final Four hopes alive.
With both teams entering the match with different stakes on the line—NU eager to lock in a playoff seat and Adamson desperate to stay in contention—fans can expect a fiery battle between two of the league’s brightest stars in Solomon and Nitura.
