Adamson banked on a huge first half rally to dispatch UE, 78-42, at the resumption of the UAAP juniors basketball games at the Blue Eagle Gym in Quezon City.
The Baby Falcons outscored the Junior Warriors, 24-3, in an 11:30 span of the first half to go ahead, 32-9, with 1:54 left before halftime.
UE came to as close as 16, 24-40, early in the third period.
But that was all the team could exert as Adamson further widened the gap to 36 and never looked back.
Gerald Fernandez scored 14 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals off the bench to lead the Baby Falcons, who continue to impress after a winless showing last season.
Paul Dagunan made 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Junior Warriors, but he only made five of 22 shots.
