Two senior Lady Falcons will remain in the nest.
Middle blocker Lorene Toring and attacker Lucille Almonte will still banner the colors of San Marcelino come UAAP 86 as both have decided to remain with Adamson and play out their final year of eligibility.

Almonte, through her social media, expressed her commitment with the Lady Falcons, saying "Ilalaban kita hanggang dulo," followed by a blue heart icon.

Announced to replace Yee is former Falcon spiker and current Baby Lady Falcons head tactician John Philip Yude, who will be joined by fellow Adamson volleyball alumni Sheila Marie Pineda and Leo Miranda.
Toring and Almonte will be tasked to lead a new batch of Lady Falcons including the core of the UAAP 85 Baby Lady Falcons that made the tournament’s Finals – Red Bascon, Eloi Aljibe, Jao Cuenca and Juris Manuel, as well as transferee Barbie Jamili.
