Adamson sweeps Letran, secures perfect 6-0 semis record

Adamson University stamped its dominance in the 2025 V-League Collegiate Challenge, locking in the top semifinal seed with a convincing sweep of Colegio de San Juan de Letran, 25-18, 25-17, 25-16, on Wednesday at the Paco Arena in Manila.

The Lady Falcons kept their spotless slate intact at 6-0, riding on a balanced effort from rookie sensation Abby Segui, who fired 12 points, and star hitter Shaina Nitura, who added 10 points and anchored their floor defense. Frances Mordi also provided steady scoring with 12 markers in the win.

Adamson showed little mercy in the third set, quickly racing to a 14-3 advantage before sealing the match with Red Bascon’s emphatic block. Earlier, Segui and Lhouriz Tuddao combined for crucial points in the second frame to help the Falcons gain full control.

Head coach JP Yude credited his squad’s execution but emphasized the need to polish their game heading into the playoffs.

“We are thankful for this opportunity to be the No. 1 seed. We’re very glad that the players executed the plays well today. But looking ahead, we’re still a work in progress, so we need to continue fixing our lapses throughout the game to make the team’s movements more polished,” said Yude.

With the elimination round nearly wrapped up, Adamson now looks to complete a clean sweep when it faces Ateneo de Manila University on Sunday, September 7.

On the other hand, Letran slipped to 2-3, hurting its semifinal bid despite Judiel Nitura’s 13-point effort. The Lady Knights will try to recover against Ateneo on Saturday, September 6.
