UAAP MVP Sam Cantada joins NUNS ahead of Palaro 2025


A third high school standout from a UAAP member school has transferred to National University Nazareth School.

UAAP Season 87 Girls’ Volleyball Most Valuable Player Sam Cantada of Adamson University is the latest addition to the Lady Bullpups. Cantada will be part of NUNS’ lineup for the 2025 Palarong Pambansa to be held in Ilocos Norte.

She joins Raine Alonzo of Far Eastern University-Diliman and Jai Adrao of University of Santo Tomas, making it three student-athletes recruited by NUNS following the conclusion of the first semester.

Cantada, a 5-foot-7 outside spiker from Dasmariñas, Cavite, was a dominant force throughout the tournament.

She led all scorers in the elimination round with 180 total points, coming from 134 attacks (on 34.01% efficiency), 14 blocks, and a league-best 32 aces. She also ranked seventh in receiving efficiency at 20.57%.

NUNS defeated Cantada’s Adamson squad in straight games during the finals to clinch the Season 87 title.

With the arrival of Cantada, Alonzo, and Adrao, the Lady Bullpups become even more formidable, adding depth to a roster already featuring standouts like Harlyn Serneche and Den Daylisan.

Adamson head coach JP Yude has been sought for comment by Tiebreaker Times but has yet to respond as of publishing time.
