Joy Cochico led the way for the Lady Falcons as she finished with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Adamson capitalized on the 25 turnovers committed by the Lady Eagles by scoring 21 points off of those miscues.

With 8 wins and 6 losses, Adamson landed the fourth spot in the Final Four and in the process knocked out defending champion Far Eastern University, whose record stands at 7-7.

The Lady Eagles finished the season dead last with only 1 win and 13 defeats. Adamson will play number one ranked National University (12-2) in the Final Four.

In the first game, De La Salle University won against the University of the East, 82-58 to finish the elimination round at 12-2. Although they have the same record as NU, the Lady Bulldogs have the better quotient as compared to DLSU, thus giving them first place.
