Adamson downed a pesky Letran crew, 83-78, to score back-to-back wins in the 2016 Filoil Flying V Preseason Premier Cup Thursday at Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.

Jerrick Ahanmisi, younger brother of Rain or Shine rookie Maverick, paced the Falcons with 26 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block.

“This was a good test for us,” said Adamson head coach Franz Pumaren. “At least, we kept our poise down the stretch. Though we made some mental mistakes, we were able to recover on time.”

Unfortunately for Letran, Robbie Manalang and Papi Sarr came to Adamson’s rescue and dropped five straight markers to put the game away in the clutch.
