MANILA—Adamson University shook off a second-set meltdown to subdue Far Eastern University Lady Tamaraws, 25-21, 24-26, 25-14, 25-21, in the UAAP Season 85 Women's Volleyball on Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Two consecutive kills from Trisha Tubu in the fourth set gave the Lady Falcons a 22-18 advantage, forcing the Lady Tamaraws to call for time.

From there, Lucille Almonte steered Adamson to match point before FEU's Alyzza Devosora committed an attack error to close out the contest.

"I'm very happy that we got through FEU. So, yung mga must-wins natin, kailangang we take care of business," coach Jerry Yee said after the Lady Falcons rose to 2-1.

Kate Santiago paced the Lady Falcons with 18 points on 17 attacks, while Lorene Toring was solid in the middle with 14 points on nine attacks and three blocks to go with two service aces.

Captain and setter Louie Romero was solid at the helm with 25 excellent sets.

Julianne Monares and Gill Gallo took charge for FEU with 12 and 11 points, respectively. They dropped to 1-2.
