It as was if the Lady Falcons did not miss a beat as they scored a sweep of Arellano University, 25-19, 25-17, 25-22, in the Shakey’s Super League Pre-season Cup, September 17 at the FilOil EcoOil Arena in San Juan.
The team, once again, showed the form that won them the SSL Invitational Conference runner-up trophy last month, punching in a balanced attack punctuated by their patented excellent floor defense.
AA Adolfo led the Adamson offense with 13 points, while team captain Lucille Almonte had seven. Shar Ancheta and Achik Juegos, on the other hand, added six markers each.
The San Marcelino-based squad played without SSL Invitationals Best Setter Angge Alcantara who was sidelined because of a toothache.
Veteran Nikka Yandoc and former Baby Falcon Jao Cuenca shared setting duties for the JP Yude-coached team.
The game also saw the debut of one of the team’s top recruits, Barbie Jamili, for the blue and white of Adamson.
