MANILA, Philippines — Adamson flexed its muscles and dumped La Finns Scholastica, 102-57, Saturday to keep its run going in the Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL) Sweet 16.

Playing its fifth game in just as many games, the Falcons showed no signs of wear — jumping into a 21-0 start before zooming away for good from the Lion Hearts.

With everyone on the squad chipping in at least a point, Adamson built a lead just a point shy of 50 points early in the fourth quarter.

Jericho Cruz put on a show before a sizeable crowd at the FAITH Gym in Tanauan, Batangas, with 19 points and four rebounds — not even slowing down every when they’re up by a mile.

Renbert Bayo led LFS, visiting from La Union after clinching the PCCL North and Central Luzon title, with 16 points.

The Falcons, who had to go through the Metro Manila qualifiers to advance, fly to Cebu City next for the continuation for the nationwide tournament.
