Ace rookie Shaina Nitura targets another big performance and a win for Adamson as the Lady Falcons end UAAP Season 87 against UP.
Shaina Nitura hopes to cap her historic campaign with one last standout performance as the Adamson Lady Falcons clash with the UP Fighting Maroons in the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament on Sunday, April 27, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Nitura, who set the UAAP single game scoring record with 38 points against UP in the first round, will once again be at the forefront for Adamson as they try to end their season with a winning note.
The Lady Falcons, holding a 5-8 record, are looking to bounce back after a gritty five-set loss to Final Four contender La Salle.
While Final Four hopes are out of reach, pride and momentum are still on the line for Adamson. A win would not only give them their sixth victory of the season, but would also put a fitting close to Nitura’s record-breaking run in her rookie year.
Meanwhile, the Fighting Maroons, at 6-7, will also be fighting for a strong finish after being officially eliminated earlier this week.
Senior hitter Niña Ytang will be leading UP's charge, aiming to sweep Adamson for the season.
With both squads eager to end on a high, expect a fierce and emotional battle to wrap up their Season 87 campaigns.
