Two of the UAAP’s brightest young stars take center stage as Shaina Nitura and the Adamson Lady Falcons go head-to-head with Angge Poyos and the UST Golden Tigresses on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
With identical 2-1 records, both teams are hungry to break into the Top 4 early in UAAP Season 87.
Nitura, fresh off leading Adamson to a straight-set victory over UE, will once again look to prove herself against the league’s best.
This time, she faces Season 86 Rookie of the Year Angge Poyos, who powered UST to a thrilling five-set comeback over La Salle in their previous outing.
Beyond the individual duel, this clash is about momentum and positioning.
Adamson aims to build on its recent dominance, while UST seeks to ride the wave of its emotional victory.
Expect fireworks when these two squads meet, as both refuse to back down in the early-season battle for Final Four spots.
