Date Posted: October 25, 2023 at 01:51 PM


After a crucial victory against Ateneo de Manila, Adamson men's basketball team suffered their second loss, dropping their first-round game against De La Salle University, 58-71, in the UAAP 86 Men’s Basketball Tournament held last October 11 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. 

The San Marcelino-based team conquered the first half of the match with a 1-point advantage after two quarters but was quickly shellshocked in the third period after the Green Archers launched a 23-0 rally, sealing the game for the Taft-based team. 

John Calisay steered the Falcons' offense with 12 points all tallied during the first half, while Matt Erolon contributed 10 markers.  

The Soaring Falcons will attempt to reclaim victory against the UE Red Warriors, this Sunday at MOA Arena.
