MANILA, Philippines – Adamson University Lady Falcons are expected to go for a sweep and the outright championship when it takes on University of the Philippines (UP) in UAAP Season 74 softball on Saturday.
The Lady Falcons, unbeaten in 9 matches, will take on the UP Lady Maroons, who are eager to play the spoiler’s role in the 11:30 a.m. match at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The Lady Maroons are running second with a 7-2 record and have the potential to foil the Lady Falcons’ bid.
A title victory by Adamson would underscore its billing as the most dominant UAAP softball team in more than a decade.
Adamson has won 10 titles since the 1997-98 season, with UP bagging 2.
Far Eastern University (FEU) used to lord it over in UAAP softball with 21 titles to its credit.
The other softball matches pit University of the East (UE) against Ateneo at 7:30 a.m. and De La Salle University (DLSU) against University of Santo Tomas (UST) at 9:30 a.m.
