UAAP: Lady Falcons overcome Lady Archers for solo fourth
Adamson University's women's basketball team boosted its Final 4 chances in the UAAP Season 88 tournament after defeating a shorthanded University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons, 78-70.
The Lady Falcons, now with a 6-7 win-loss record, secured solo fourth place and strengthened their bid for back-to-back Final Four appearances.
Adamson's triumph also eliminated UP, who is seventh at 3-9, from postseason contention for the second straight year.
Key players like Nigerian center Kemi Adeshina and the Gilas Women 3x3 duo of Cheska Apag and Elaine Etang were instrumental in Adamson's victory.
The Lady Falcons had to survive an inspired performance from a La Salle team that was playing without Kyla Go, the league's fourth-leading scorer, who was suspended.
Head coach Jed Colonia emphasized the importance of the win for their final stretch and their goal of reaching the Final Four.
