Shaina Nitura is trying her best to shy away from social media as she would rather turn her focus in her big role as Adamson's leading scorer.

The 20-year-old Nitura caught the league by storm in just her rookie year, once exploding for 33 points for the Lady Falcons who are at the middle of the pack with a 2-4 win-loss record.

Despite her individual success, the big hitter is avoiding all the unnecessary noises outside of the playing court as she deals with her personal challenges as a student and a star athlete.

“Hindi po talaga ako nagso-social media… kasi busy rin po kasi marami po kaming responsibilities na ginagampanan, pagiging estudyante, atleta, and relationship pa sa mga teammates ko,” said Nitura.

“Actually, no’ng may social media ako dati, ‘di naman talaga ako masyadong nakakahawak ng phone at nakikipag-socialize sa social media kasi nga busy,” she concluded.

The super rookie from Cainta, Rizal and the Lady Falcons recently suffered a 25-21, 25-23, 25-18 loss to the NU Lady Bulldogs last Wednesday, March 12, at Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Nitura still has high hopes that she and her squad can bounce back from their subpar showing so far as they try to earn a Final Four spot.

“Tiwala lang, maniwala lang sa team, sa mga teammates ko, sa mga coaching staff and sa sarili ko,” said Nitura. “Kasi wala namang imposible.”

Adamson tries to end its losing skid when it tangles with University of the Philippines Sunday, March 16, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
