Adamson nabbed its fifth straight UAAP softball title at the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium.
The softbelles of Ana Santiago secured the school's only UAAP title this season with a 10-0 smashing of the University of the Philippines in Game 2 of the Finals, extending their winning streak to a gaudy 62 matches.
Annalie Benjamen stood tall once again in the win, allowing just three hits in the shutout, on her way to being named as the MVP for the second straight year. Not only was she stellar on the mound, but also on the plate, snagging the Best Hitter award and sharing the Most RBIs award with teammate Gelyn Lamata. The Bacolod native says that this was the fruit of their hard work.
Other Adamson softbelles include Lorna Adorable (Most Stolen Bases), Florabelle Pabiana (Rookie of the Year), and Queeny Sabobo (co-Most Home Runs winner alongside Cristy Joy Roa of UST)
Santiago shares that this championship is the fruit of their training, showcasing the team's will to win. She also gave credit to the Maroon softbelles, who forced them to play all seven innings in both finals games.

"UP is a strong team. Hanga ako sa kanila, marami silang rookie, pero hindi sila bumitaw. Mga fighter ang mga yan. Ang sabi ko sa mga bata, if we want to win, kung anong lakas meron ang kalaban, higitan natin. If we want to be the winner, we have to play like a winner," said Santiago.This had been UP's first finals since 2011.
