MANILA, Philippines — Upon thorough deliberation, the UAAP won’t penalize National University star Alyssa Solomon for applying in the 2025 Korean Volleyball Federation Asian Quota Draft.

In a statement on Tuesday, the UAAP Board of Managing Directors said Solomon kept her amateur status after “immediately withdrawing her application” in the draft. The Lady Bulldogs’ perfect 7-0 record at the end of the first round also won’t be affected.

“While the BMD noted that Solomon did apply and was included in the final draft list of the 2025 Korean Volleyball Federation Asian Quota Draft, her subsequent action in immediately withdrawing her application allowed her to continue competing in the ongoing UAAP Season,” the league wrote.

“The UAAP remains committed to ensuring the integrity of its competitions and the welfare of its student-athletes.”

Solomon decided to pull out from the Korean V-League after being part of the 43 aspirants with Maddie Madayag, Mars Alba, and Majoy Baron.

On Friday, Inquirer sources revealed that Solomon and NU were informed on Tuesday last week about the possible repercussions should the reigning Finals MVP pursue her plans to play in the Korean V-League due to a long-standing UAAP rule regarding amateurism and were given three days to respond.

On Sunday, Solomon stayed mentally keen, seemingly unbothered by her recent withdrawal from the KOVO Asian Quota Draft, as she fired 24 points in the Lady Bulldogs’ 23-25, 25-17, 19-25, 25-18, 15-9 win over the UST Tigresses before 12,790 fans at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

As far as the Korean draft is concerned, Solomon politely declined to answer questions with regard to the matter. NU athletic director Otie Camangian and coach Sherwin Meneses also refused to comment.

Although it’s the end of her Korean dreams, at least for this year, Solomon expressed her commitment to NU’s bid for back-to-back championships and has other options after this season as she said in a previous interview.
