Adamson escapes FEU for first win
-
Adamson University held off a late rally by Far Eastern University, 57-56, to secure a breakthrough win in the UAAP Season 88 Women's Basketball Tournament on Sunday, Oct. 5, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
After setbacks against the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons and the Ateneo Blue Eagles, the Lady Falcons relied on clutch performances from Gilas Pilipinas Women 3x3 standouts Elaine Etang and Cheska Apag to finally notch their first victory of Season 88, giving newly appointed head coach Jed Colonia his maiden win since taking over from Ryan Monteclaro.
With the triumph, Adamson forced a two-way tie for fifth place in the eight-team field alongside FEU with identical 1-2 win-loss records.
