ADAMSON University capped a perfect preliminary round in the 2025 V-League Collegiate Challenge by sweeping Ateneo 25-22, 25-17, 25-11 yesterday at the Paco Arena Events and Sports Center in Manila.
The Lady Falcons soared to a flawless 7-0 win-loss record in the elimination phase, dropping only three sets along the way. They now head into the semifinals brimming with confidence, fueled by breakout performances from Alas Pilipinas young gun Shaina Nitura, rookie hitter Abby Segui, and foreign student-athlete Frances Mordi in the eight-team tournament organized by Sports Vision.
Nitura delivered a stellar all-around outing with 24 points on 21 attacks, complemented by nine excellent digs and nine excellent receptions. Mordi provided solid support with 14 points built on 13 attacks and one block, along with five excellent digs and four excellent receptions, as Adamson secured its seventh straight win.
“‘Yung teamwork talaga ‘yung naging difference — on how they play as one. May mga lapses pa rin during situations na may pressure and tough times, but I always remind them that they need mag-respond in every situation kasi the more na nandoon tayo sa tough times, the more that we’ll stick together,” said Lady Falcons coach JP Yude.
