UP looks for a winning exit as the Fighting Maroons lock horns with the struggling Adamson Soaring Falcons in UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball on Sunday, April 27, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Match time is at 11:00 a.m.

The Diliman-based squad will play their final game of the tournament in hopes of arresting a three-game losing skid, and completing a season-sweep of the Soaring Falcons.

Earlier, UP scored a 20-25, 25-18, 26-24, 25-20 victory over Adamson in their round 1 meeting last March 16.

Since then, the Fighting Maroons have gone 1-5, including a 17-25, 20-25, and 11-25 setback at the hands of the last year’s runners-up UST Golden Spikers.

Olayemi Raheem was the lone bright spot for UP, pouring 10 points. Milven Francisco added six markers in the loss.
