The Adamson Lady Falcons, flanked by promising rookie Shaina Nitura, will try to take a win in their opening game of the season.
The Adamson Lady Falcons take flight into a new chapter as they face the Ateneo Blue Eagles in their UAAP Season 87 opener at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday starting at 1:00 p.m.
With several key veterans moving on to the professional ranks, Adamson will be banking on fresh talent to make a statement this season.
Leading the charge is highly-touted rookie Shaina Nitura, who is expected to play a pivotal role in the Lady Falcons’ campaign. The young squad will look to prove that despite their rebuilding phase, they remain a force to be reckoned with.
After finishing outside the Final Four last season, Adamson is eager to turn the page and set the tone for a competitive run in Season 87. A strong showing against Ateneo, another team hungry for redemption, would be the perfect way to start.
On the other side, the Blue Eagles, guided by senior Lyann De Guzman and head coach Sergio Veloso in his second year, aim to reestablish themselves as contenders after a fifth-place finish last season.
But the Lady Falcons are determined to rise above the challenges and show that they can soar even higher despite the changes in their roster.
Will Adamson’s new era begin with a victory, or will Ateneo impose its will? The battle unfolds this Sunday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
