    ADAMSON assistant coach Rogelio “Onyok” Getigan has been tapped to replace Air Padda as coach of the struggling Lady Falcons for the rest of the UAAP Season 81 women’s volleyball tournament.

    In a report posted on Akarisports.com, the Falcons management said Getigan, the current Baby Falcons coach, will take over the coaching reins of a Lady Falcons side that is off to a dismal 0-3 start to the season after a four-set loss to University of the East last Wednesday at the Arena in San Juan City.

    The team sponsor added that Padda will continue serving as the team’s conditioning coach after three seasons and three matches in charge of the Lady Falcons.

    Padda had a 7-24 win-loss record for Adamson in her tenure.
