“There’s still a big chance that we can get to the Final Four. I hope our win streak starts,” Meneses added.

Adamson fell behind 14-16 in the start of the fourth set but cruised to the matchpoint with a 10-1 sprint to notch the scoreboards at 24-17.

Amanda Villanueva came up big for Adamson with 14 points while Mylene Paat and Jessica Galanza each added 11
