The Baby Falcons faced a formidable opponent in the Far Eastern University-Diliman (FEU-D) Lady Baby Tamaraws during Round 3 of the UAAP Season 87 High School Chess Tournaments on Saturday, suffering a 3-1 defeat at the Adamson Gym, October 19.
Despite the loss, the Falcons demonstrated resilience and determination. The highlight of the match came from Ma. Christina Samarita, who managed to secure a vital victory on Board 4 against FEU-D's Lyn Getubig. With the win, Samarita prevented a complete shutout for Adamson.

In the boys' division, the Baby Falcon Woodpushers are also in pursuit of stronger performances, looking to leverage their potential in the upcoming matches.
