PVL Media</div>MANILA -- Adamson University cruised past Far Eastern University in the deciding Game 3 to rule the 2025 Women&#x27;s V-League Collegiate Challenge, Friday at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.The Lady Falcons silenced the Lady Tamaraws&#x27; big guns en route to an emphatic 25-19, 25-19, 25-14 sweep of the do-or-die game.It was a bounce-back performance for Adamson, which suffered a four-set loss in Game 2 that dashed their hopes of a perfect campaign.But they stormed back in Game 3 to claim their fourth overall title in a Sports Vision-organized tournament.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2025/10/8/v-league-feu-turns-back-adamson-to-force-decider-in-finals-1815">READ: FEU turns back Adamson to force decider in Finals</a></div>This is Adamson&#x27;s third V-League title, having previously won in 2008 and 2010 under coach Dulce Pante with standouts Pau Soriano and Lizlee Gata-Pantone. They also captured the 2019 PVL Collegiate Conference crown with Lerma Giron calling the shots and Trisha Genesis and Louie Romero leading the way.What was anticipated to be a tightly fought decider after the teams split the first two games turned into an anticlimactic finish, as the Lady Falcons&#x27; relentless attacking display became the defining factor, overwhelming FEU with a 47-23 edge in attacks in the one-hour, 23-minute contest.&quot;First of all, we praise God for the win because sa mga hectic ng games the Lord sustained &#x27;yung strength ng mga bata so siguro the first thing na nangyari na kinaibahan ng Game 2 is una pa lang they stuck to the plan. &#x27;Yung pinag usapan namin kagabi, &#x27;yung inaral namin kagabi, they stuck to it,&quot; said Adamson head coach JP Yude.&quot;Then may joy sila, naka-focus and may happiness sila. &#x27;Yun lang, &#x27;yun &#x27;yung kulang namin nung Game 2 eh, &#x27;yung application na gussto namin mag-champion that time pero &#x27;yung application kulang sa loob ng court. Gumana talaga lahat ng pinagaralan namin kagabi,&quot; Yude added.Tournament MVP Shaina Nitura stood at the center of the Lady Falcons&#x27; onslaught, delivering 17 points alongside 13 digs and 10 receptions, and claimed Finals MVP honors after dominating the best-of-three series with an average of 23.33 points.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760111338882VL 2025 Finals G3 AdU vs. FEU- Shai Nitura-6830.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Adamson&#x27;s Shaina Nitura in action against FEU in Game 3 of the 2025 Women&#x27;s V-League Collegiate Challenge Finals, October 10, 2025 at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.

And I&#x27;m very grateful talaga sa talo namin kasi I don&#x27;t think na may matutunan kami kung nanalo kami doon,&quot; said Nitura.Nigerian outside spiker Francess Mordi spearheaded the Adamson&#x27;s attack in Game 3 with 19 points—18 of which came from attaccks—while adding four excellent receptions, as Eloi Dote powered through with 11 points, including three aces.Best Setter Fhei Sagaysay commanded the floor with precision, dishing out 23 perfect sets and adding three points and seven digs, keeping the Lady Falcons&#x27; offense relentless from start to finish.Adamson capped a dominant tournament run with an impressive 11-1 record, their lone loss coming at the hands of FEU in Game 2 of the Finals.On the other hand, the Lady Tamaraws placed second for the third consecutive time, having lost to College of St. Benilde in 2023 and University of Sto.
