ADAMSON University outside spiker Shaina Nitura is set to become the first Most Valuable Player from the school in UAAP women’s volleyball history, capping a standout season that powered the Lady Falcons back to the Final Four after a three-year absence.

The 21-year-old finished with 284 total points built on 248 attacks, 24 blocks, and 12 service aces, showcasing her all-around impact on both offense and defense.

Nitura, the Season 87 Rookie of the Year, also ranked among the league leaders across multiple categories—third in spiking efficiency at 38.15 percent, seventh in service with 0.26 aces per set, fourth in reception at 44.48 percent, and eighth in digging with 2.11 digs per set.

Her consistent production earned her the MVP plum with 98.511 statistical points (SP), finishing 16 points ahead of teammate Frances Mordi, who placed second with 82.766 SP.

Adamson now shifts its focus to the stepladder quarterfinals, awaiting the winner of the playoff between the University of Santo Tomas and Far Eastern University on Saturday.
