Nitura wraps up season to remember
The Adamson Lady Falcons concluded their historic Season 87 with a sweep of the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, finishing fifth with a 6-8 record.
Rookie standout Shaina Nitura made history by scoring 37 points in their final game against UP, breaking the UAAP women's volleyball single-season scoring record previously held by Alyssa Valdez.
Nitura's total of 371 points also surpassed the men's single-season record of 344 points set by UST's Mark Alfafara.
She led the Lady Falcons with 22 points in the final match against UP, with Mayang Nuique contributing 13 and Frances Mordi adding 11.
Despite her record-breaking season, Nitura emphasized that the team needs to work harder to be a contender in future seasons, stating, "If we want a bigger spot in the UAAP, we have to work harder than we did this [time]."
