UP Fighting Maroons hope to sweep their Final FOur heartbreak under the rug and play well to end UAAP Season 87.
Niña Ytang hopes to lead the UP Fighting Maroons to a triumphant end as they face the Adamson Lady Falcons in a battle of pride to close their campaigns in the UAAP Season 87 on Sunday, April 27, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Eliminated from Final Four contention after a heartbreaking loss to UST earlier this week, UP (6-7) is determined to finish the season strong with a repeat victory over Adamson.
Ytang, one of UP’s senior leaders, looks to deliver a memorable performance in what could be her final game for the Fighting Maroons.
On the other side, Adamson (5-8) will lean on record-setting rookie Shaina Nitura, who previously torched UP for 38 points in their first-round meeting.
Nitura will aim for another high-scoring outing to give the Lady Falcons a winning end to their season after a tough five-set loss to La Salle.
Both teams have nothing left to fight for but pride, making this clash an emotional finale to their Season 87 journeys.
