Adamson regained its winning form by demolishing University of the East, 75-49, to break its two-game slide in the UAAP Season 88 women’s basketball tournament at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City Saturday, Oct. 25.
The Lady Falcons took control from start to finish, especially in the first two quarters where they built a sizable 40-14 lead that they preserved to give the Red Warriors their eighth straight loss this season.
Cheska Apag and Elaine Etang led Adamson offensively to lead them to a 3-5 slate at sixth place.
“We know what we’re capable of [and] we know that we could have won games that were decided by one possession. We know what we are capable of and we just take it one game at a time,” said Falcons head coach Jed Colonia.
Apag topscored with 16 points, while Etang backstopped her 12 points for the San Marcelino-based squad. Kim Limbago added seven markers.
Rachel Lacayanga stood out for UE with 20 points on top of eight rebounds, three assists, and three steals which all went to drain.
The Lady Falcons’ next assignment would be tougher as they face current leader and unbeaten University of Santo Tomas (7-0), while the Lady Warriors tangle with De La Salle Lady Archers. Both games are set Wednesday, Oct. 29, at the same venue.
Meanwhile in the juniors division, Adamson turned back UST, 87-76, to forge a tiebreak at third spot.
The Baby Falcons and Tigers Cubs are now tied with 6-3 win-loss card.
The scores (women's) :
AdU (75) – Apag 16, Etang 12, Limbago 7, Padilla 6, Ornopia 6, Carcallas 5, Meniano 5, Adeshina 4, Bajo 4, E. Alaba 4, Mazo 2, Manlimos 2, Muñoz 2, A. Alaba 0, Cortez 0.
