Schedule: First round of UAAP Season 87 Volleyball Tournament
Reasonable rookie Shaina Nitura took over with a record-breaking performance on Sunday’s Crunch. Adamson made his stylish debut at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
“Personally, I’m not looking forward to anything [personal] Like [resetting records]Nitura spoke in the Philippines after finishing with 33 points in a tone setting victory that announced who Queen Falcon is. Her output reset last year the Rookie Scoring Record for Ang Poyos at the University of Santo Thomas.

“[But] Of course I’m grateful. I praise the Lord, but the season is just beginning,” said Nitura, MVP for last season and finals. “We want more for the team, not individually. We’ve tasted the first win, so we’re going to be more hungry.”

Last year, Nitura led the Lady Baby Falcons to a complete finalverse and helped them abdicate Adamson National University Nazareth school in the title match with a 14-0 elimination round sweep.
Sorry 86 season
While that was happening last year, the Falcons were sorry they compiled a 3-11 record and finished in 7th place. The team was led by Lucille Almonte, Ish Lalongisip, Karen Verdiflor, AA Adolfo, Angu Alcantara and Shell Ancheta, who currently plays professionally in the PVL.
But with another freshman from Nitura and Nigerian Francis Maldie, things look bright for Adamson.

“I’m grateful for the young people because there are so many talents in them, so even if we lose a lot last year, there’s a new name to fill the gap,” said Director JP Yude. “They are not only talented, but also decisive about the challenges their team faces and how they respond to every situation.
“Even with these God-given talents, I always teach them to be humble,” he said. “They also need to be more hungry all the time so that they can develop these talents and gifts to the best version.”
Ateneo was ready to put things together early, earning the first two sets until Nitura and Mordi blocked them all.
Maldie also shined with 23 points from 16 offenses in his debut. She also had five blocks and ace pair.
“[Coming into this game] I felt anxious [until the third set]Nitura said. “I’ve just faced tension.”
Nitura also knows where it all came from.

“Thank you, Lord, for you gave me talent,” she said. “But we don’t stop at this achievement because I know I can do more. And I can do better in the next game.”
