Adamson University sent Ateneo de Manila University reeling to its third consecutive loss in straight sets fashion, 25-18, 25-23, 25-19, in the UAAP Season 85 women’s volleyball tournament at the Philsports Arena on Sunday, Mar. 12.

The Lady Falcons showed their composure in the second and third frames with on-point endgame execution to complete the sweep.

After Vanie Gandler pulled the Blue Eagles within one in the second, 23-24, Kate Santiago did not let the period get extended by drilling a down-the-line spike.

The Lady Falcons also grabbed their third straight win to join National University at second behind 4-1 win-loss cards, while the Blue Eagles fell to 1-4, tied with University of the Philippines at sixth.
