The loss places Adamson University in a tie with Ateneo at the fifth and sixth spots in the tournament standings with both teams holding identical 2-4 records.
The match witnessed an exchange of momentum, with Ateneo seizing control in the first two sets of the game, punching through the Lady Falcons’ defense with powerful attacks.
Adamson, though, mounted a spirited comeback in the third set built around the strong play of Ishie Lalongisip. Their effort, though, fell short after Ateneo took over at the end of the fourth set.
