Shaina Nitura bags MVP title in UAAP Season 88

With a season defined by impressive scoring and steady leadership, Shaina Nitura was deemed Adamson’s first-ever Most Valuable Player in UAAP women’s volleyball history.

Team captain Nitura closed the match with an impressive 98.511 statistical points (SP), a commanding 16-point lead over runner-up and teammate Frances Mordi, who tallied 82.76 SP.

The outside spiker capped off her legendary campaign, clinching 284 points on 248 attacks, 24 blocks, and 12 aces in Season 88. Moreover, her consistent dominance on the court played a crucial role in Adamson’s resurgence this season.

Powering through for the second straight year, she led the Lady Falcons to their first Final Four appearance after three years, signalling the team’s strong resilience and great leadership.

Nitura ranked third in spiking efficiency in the league with a 38.15 success rate. The Super Rookie also ranked fourth place in reception efficiency with 44.48 percent, while placing 7th in serving with 0.26 aces per set and 8th in digging with 2.11 digs per set.

Coming off a historic season, the captain redirected her gratitude to God, relying on His will for the team as a personal source of motivation.

Sagaysay shines as UAAP Season 88’s Best Setter

Adamson’s Fhei Sagaysay carved her name into the tournament’s elite, earning the Best Setter award in the UAAP Season 88 Women’s Volleyball Tournament.

In just her sophomore year, Sagaysay emerged as the steady pulse of the Lady Falcons’ offense. Sagaysay tallied 247 ranking points and ranked second overall in setting, with 4.94 excellent sets per frame.

Beyond her playmaking, she dominated the service line as the league’s top server, firing 22 aces at 0.47 per set.

Her all-around impact placed her fifth overall in the MVP race with 71.064 statistical points, alongside Adamson standout Shaina Nitura, who led with 98.511 SP and is set to be the league’s MVP, and Frances Mordi, with 82.766 SP, who also made a strong case this season.

Sagaysay became the heartbeat of Adamson’s resurgence. With her composure and court vision, she steered the Lady Falcons back into the Final Four for the first time since Season 85, snapping a three-year absence and reestablishing the program as a contender.

Besorio wins UAAP Season 88 Rookie of the Year

Richard Besorio capped off an impressive debut campaign after being named Rookie of the Year in the UAAP Season 88 Men’s Volleyball Tournament, becoming the first player from Adamson University to win the award in 15 years.

The freshman standout finished the season with 42.069 statistical points (SPs), emerging as one of the league’s top young performers and a consistent contributor for the Soaring Falcons throughout the tournament.

Besorio’s recognition also marked a historic achievement for Adamson, with the last Rookie of the Year awardee from the school being Nico Ramirez during Season 75.

Despite entering the collegiate ranks as a newcomer, Besorio quickly adjusted to the competitive environment of the UAAP and established himself as a reliable presence on the court for Adamson.

His strong performances throughout the season helped solidify the Soaring Falcons’ lineup while also highlighting the potential of the team’s young core moving forward.

With the Rookie of the Year plum now back in San Marcelino, Besorio’s breakthrough season adds another milestone to Adamson’s volleyball program and signals a promising future for the Falcons in the coming years.

AdU, Ilagan City bring health allied courses to new City of Ilagan College

The local government of Ilagan City, in partnership with Adamson University, formally opened the City of Ilagan College in Lullutan, Ilagan City, Isabela, last May 4. The partnership is centered on opening opportunities for students from Ilagan City while prioritizing health allied courses.

Present in the ceremony were Fr. Daniel Franklin E. Pilario, CM, President of Adamson University; Dr. Rosula SJ. Reyes, VP for Academic Affairs; Ilagan City Mayor Josemarie Diaz; and Vice Mayor Jay Eveson Diaz, in which a Memorandum of Agreement was signed.

In an interview, Ilagan City Mayor Josemarie Diaz emphasized that the agreement aims to support students, especially in the health-related field.

“This is to give opportunity to students who are not properly accommodated in courses such as Nursing and other health-related courses,” Diaz said.

Two of the hospitals being operated by the Local Government Unit of Ilagan will serve as the training ground for the students.

Diaz also mentioned the importance of this agreement, especially in preventing “brain drain,” or the mass departure of highly skilled, educated, and talented individuals from developing countries to developed nations in search of higher wages.

The partnership aims to aid students coming from agricultural families by offering scholarship programs.

AUDC SHS bags gold and AUDC College places fifth in the UAAP Season 88 Street Dance Competition

The Adamson University Dance Company (AUDC), both Senior High School (SHS) and College, lit up the stage as the SHS team took home the gold and the senior level placed fifth to make a statement in the UAAP Season 88 Street Dance Competition, on May 3, at the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym.

The newly renovated Blue Eagle Gym became the center of one of the most anticipated non-traditional showcases in the league as the UAAP Street Dance Competition officially stepped out into its own spotlight as a standalone major event.

‎The day opened with the senior high school division, where seven schools set the tone for what would become an unforgettable showcase of young talent and creativity. ‎As the lights intensified for the collegiate division, eight universities took center stage, each representing not just a school, but years of culture, rivalry, and hard work.

For Adamson, Season 88 became one of the biggest stories of the competition. After both divisions showed promise in Season 87. The high school division champions, Adamson Dance Company-Street SHS, were second in the order of performance and introduced an inspired by Disney’s Coco theme that secured them the crown with the score of 88.17.

After the high school division’s explosive start, the collegiate division raised the stakes even higher. The college team, which is third in the order of performance, nearly cracked the upper tier in fifth place with a final score of 89.83.

The collegiate team stunned the audience with their bombastic take on the Wild West, showcasing visuals that take you back to Clint Eastwood's iconic films. It was a season that showcased Adamson as a legitimate rising force in the UAAP dance culture.

AdU Lady Falcons’ Final Four return spoiled by Tigresses in 3 sets

The Adamson University (AdU) Lady Falcons’ finals hopes fell short in straight sets, 16-25, 18-25, 19-25, to the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Golden Tigresses in the first stepladder match of the UAAP Season 88 Women’s Volleyball Tournament last April 29, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The Lady Falcons came out firing in the first set, taking a 7-4 lead midway through against the Golden Tigresses’ opening push.

They kept the rhythm alive, holding firm at 12-10 before UST pulled ahead to close the set at 16-25.

Hoping to rally back, the Lady Falcons again showed early promise in the second set, capitalizing on UST’s errors, with Nitura’s attack pushing the team to 4-3.

They continue to assert control midway through with a sustained lead in hopes of flipping the script from the opener.

Nitura’s off-the-block fire edged AdU ahead at 13-12 but lost momentum with the team’s errors, giving way for UST to surge to a seven-point gap at 13-20.

Mordi attempted to spark the Lady Falcons’ late rally, slashing the gap to 15-20 and one final spike that reached the set to 18-24, but UST held firm and closed the set at 18-25.

With their season on the line, the Lady Falcons battled the Golden Tigresses in a thrilling third set, trading points in grueling, extended rallies.

Both teams, eager to secure a finals spot, kept the scores close until a UST attack error at 13-12 gave Adamson their last lead of the match.

Momentum then shifted as the Golden Tigresses mounted a relentless surge, pulling away to close out the set at 19-25, ending the well-fought season for the Lady Falcons.

The San Marcelino-based squad put up a determined fight, led by Season MVP Shaina Nitura, who finished with 13 points.

After the game, Head Coach JP Yude expressed gratitude for the team’s return to the Final Four after three years, attributing the achievement to faith and perseverance throughout the season.

“First of all, we thank the Lord for everything. We are grateful na maraming lessons na nakuha ngayong season na ‘to,” he said.

He also noted that while the team showed adjustments during the match, lapses in ex*****on ultimately cost them on the day, and they look forward to bouncing back next season.

“Siguro sa game ngayon is (there were) so many lapses. So what is important is how we look back pagdating sa susunod na season,” he added.

Despite the setback, the Lady Falcons ended the Season 88 on a high note with their first Final Four appearance in three years.
