Lady Falcons chill it

The Manila Times

Lady Falcons chill it  On the brink of elimination, the Adamson Lady Falcons are playing without pressure in the remainder of the UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball second round.  That approach helped Adamson defeat defending champ NU, 25-23, 15-25, 28-26, 25-22, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on April 6, 2025.  Shaina Nitura dropped 32 points to lead the Lady Falcons who elevated to 4-7, tied in sixth place with Ateneo.

00:0032 points now, what do you think of your season so far?

00:07You have high scoring performances but the wins aren't enough.

00:11I know my past games.

00:13This is one of the best games because my efficiency is higher compared to the other games.

00:20I think this is one of my best games.

00:23I know myself, my capacity as a person.

00:28Even if you can't see it, I can see it.

00:30I know myself, so I know that I have a lot of work to do.

00:33That's one of the big implications of this game.

00:37I don't know if you know that if you lose here,

00:41I don't know if you're eliminated or on the brink of elimination.

00:45So how did that work on to the game today?

00:48We didn't really think about it.

00:50We just told ourselves that there's nothing to lose.

00:55What if we lose?

00:57What if we win big?

01:00But we shouldn't be afraid.

01:03Pressure is not on us.

01:05It should be on our opponents.

01:06Because we didn't chase anyone.

01:08This is our opponent in the Final 4.

01:11They chased a lot of people.

01:13So they localized their wins.

01:15We told ourselves that it's an experience.

01:19And it's much better because it's Coach's birthday.

01:21So happy birthday.

01:24Battling NU for the second time this season.

01:27Is it still daunting to face them?

01:30Knowing that they're very complete and defending champions.

01:35Of course.

01:39They're really good.

01:41They're veterans.

01:43They've done a lot of poses.

01:48But we're still the same players.

01:51The ball is still spinning.

01:54It's God's will.

01:56God's will to win.

01:57So it will happen.

01:59Of course, it's scary to face them.

02:05But you shouldn't let it get to your head.

02:10If you lose, it's because you're a defending champion.

02:12That's it.

02:15How much did it help you?

02:17You mentioned that you're under pressure.

02:19And you lost your mentality.

02:21How much did it help you?

02:23You won 32 points at the same time.

02:26It's a lot.

02:28It's like we're just playing in the ODL.

02:31We're just playing.

02:33Nothing will be lost.

02:35We're just defending.

02:37Blocking and serving.

02:39There's nothing to be afraid of.

02:41It's a good result.

02:43We're not afraid.

02:45We're not pressured to win.

02:47We're not pressured to win.

02:49We're just playing.

02:51We're going to keep it up.
