Lady Falcons rule SSL-Cebu

MANILA, Philippines — Adamson clipped Ateneo, 25-15, 26-24, 25-14, to win the 2025 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) National Invitationals Cebu Leg unscathed over the weekend at the Mandaue Sports Complex in Cebu.

Alas Pilipinas stalwart Shaina Nitura stamped her class with 15 points laced by four aces and four blocks as the Lady Falcons completed a three-game sweep of the Visayas tourney.

Nitura, the UAAP Rookie of the Year last season and Adamson’s team captain this year, was named the Best Player of the Cebu leg even as she drew ample support from Frances Mordi (12) and Lhouriz Tuddao (7) in the easy win and in their entire title run.

“I thank God for the performance of my players. I thank God for this tournament na three straight wins nakuha namin. I’m very proud of our players. And really happy na nakikita ko sila na unti-unti na may progress,” said Lady Falcons head coach JP Yude, who also steered the Lady Baby Falcons to the 2024 Shakey’s Girls Invitational Volleyball League.
