Rookie Shaina Nitura capped off her historic season by leading Adamson to a victory and a fifth place finish in the UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball tournament on Sunday.
But instead of basking in her own glory, Nitura deflected the credit and attributed the win over University of the Philippines to the entire team.

With all things considered, Adamson on Sunday scripted the best possible ending to its UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball campaign, dismantling University of the Philippines in straight sets at Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
Battling for pride—and perhaps laying the groundwork for next year—the Lady Falcons carved out a 25-13, 25-21, 25-18 triumph to finish with a 6-8 win-loss record, a significant improvement from last season’s 3-11 slate that led to a seventh-place finish.

MANILA, Philippines—National University continued its dominance over University of Santo Tomas on Sunday in the UAAP Season 87 men’s volleyball tournament.

“Yesterday, we found out that the game would have no bearing, but I told my players that no matter what happens, we should still set our mindset to win because the victory we get here, we can carry into the Final Four,” said NU coach Dante Alinsunurin, whose squad also faces UST in the semifinal round.

University of Santo Tomas (UST) is in the UAAP women’s volleyball semifinals for a fifth straight season. And this weekend, it will be all about hoping and praying on Saturday and then doing all the work the following day to get the last twice-to-beat bonus in the Final Four.
La Salle’s task is the opposite, as the Lady Spikers work for a win over Far Eastern first before hoping that defending champion National U takes the fight out of the Growling Tigresses on Sunday.
