Adamson has one final chance to wake up from a nightmarish stretch.

The Soaring Falcons eye to end a five-game skid as they take on the UP Fighting Maroons to wrap up UAAP Season 87 on Sunday, April 27, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Game time is at 11:00 a.m.

After winning its second round opener over UE, Adamson dropped its next five outings and slipped further down in the team standings.

The Soaring Falcons hold a 2-11 win-loss record for the seventh spot, just above the winless Red Warriors.

Adamson failed to sustain its gritty third-set outing en route to surrendering a 20-25, 25-27, 26-24, and 17-25 decision to the Final Four-bound DLSU Green Spikers in the last outing.

They overturned a 25-24 deficit in the extended third frame via a clutch 3-0 surge to force a fourth set.

 

However, the Soaring Falcons’ momentum fizzled out as Jude Aguilar’s team-high 17 points went for naught.

Dan Gutierrez added 16 markers, while Marc Paulino and Leo Coguimbal contributed eight points apiece.

 

Adamson also seeks revenge against UP, who beat the Soaring Falcons in their round 1 encounter.
