That&#x27;s the part that I&#x27;m sad of, that we can&#x27;t do things that we ought to dominate or get an advantage of,&quot; he said.&quot;Yes, may times na bumababa ang laro namin, and it&#x27;s gonna be rough cause everybody wants to defeat us, pero minsan nawawala yung focus namin na we still have to work hard for it para hindi mawala yung record.&quot;NU committed 25 turnovers and missed a number of boxouts as Adamson grabbed 23 offensive rebounds in the duel that kept them within much striking distance up to the third frame.But the Lady Bulldogs eventually trampled on the Lady Falcons, with Surada&#x27;s breakaway layup putting them up by 24, 75-51 late in the contest.The loss ended Adamson&#x27;s two-game win run to drop to a 6-4 record.Kat Araja powered the Lady Falcons with 16 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and four steals, while Lhyn Bilbao got herself 13 points and nine boards in the defeat.The Scores:NU 75 -- Itesi 22, Pingol 17, Surada 10, Animam 5, Cac 5, Hayes 5, Harada 3, Canuto 2, Clarin 2, Del Carmen 2, Fabruada 2, Bartolo 0, Cacho 0, Goto 0.ADU 56 -- Araja 16, Bilbao 13, Flor 6, Prado 6, Dampios 5, Catulong 4, Balane 3, Anticamara 2, Ea.
