UAAP

[edit]

Nitura is a member of the Adamson Lady Baby Falcons and is the team captain.[3] In 2023, she won the 1st Best Outside Hitter award in the UAAP Season 85 high school girls' volleyball, with her team reaching the finals.[4]

In 2024, the Lady Baby Falcons had a 14–0 sweep throughout the tournament and Nitura bagged the 1st Best Outside Hitter award for the second straight season.[5][6] It was an outright finals berth for them, with FEU, NU Nazareth School, and UST figuring in a step-ladder semifinal round.[7] The UAAP also awarded her Season 86 MVP and Finals MVP after Adamson dethroned NUNS in Game 2 with a score of 25–18, 25–18, 28-26 even as Game 1 ended in three sets, too.[8][9]

On February 17, 2024, Nitura announced that she would remain with Adamson to play college volleyball.[10][11][12]

The Lady Falcons quickly appointed her team captain in her rookie season. They knocked out the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the final four contention of Season 87 UAAP beach volleyball championships.[13][14]
