ADU over NU, 64-51
Box scores. 

The Adamson Falcons continued their winning ways after defeating NU, 64-51, to move into second place in the UAAP Season 79 standings on Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Papi Sarr led Adamson with 13 points and 17 big rebounds in the win. The Falcons are now 3-1 for the season, trailing only La Salle (4-0).

JD Tungcab added 11 markers and Sean Manganti chipped in with nine to make up for a subpar showing from scorer Jerrick Ahanmisi.

Ahanmisi struggled for the first time in his UAAP career, scoring just eight points on 25-percent shooting. He did score seven of those in the last two minutes, though, as he helped preserve the win for his team.

Adamson finished the game strong, closing out with 11 unanswered points to end the contest.

Lines of the Game:
Papi Sarr (ADU) - 13pts, 17rebs, 1stl, 1blk, 5/10 FGs.
Alfred Aroga (NU) - 17pts, 13rebs, 2asts, 1stl, 1blk.
