May mga lapses pa rin during the situation na may pressure and tough times, pero lagi ko rineremind na always need mag-respond in every situation kasi the more na nandoon tayo sa tough times, the more that we&#x27;ll stick together,&quot; said Lady Falcons head coach JP Yude.After a tight opening set, Adamson broke away in the second frame with a commanding 9-2 run.
