CHOCO Mucho used its superior power and near-impeccable blocking to soar past Gerflor yesterday 25-16, 25-17, 25-11 and extend its remarkable run to nine in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig.
Sisi Rondina stayed in flight when she could afford to stay aground, scoring 17 points as the Flying Titans flashed their dominance over their winless foe to fashion out the lopsided victory, their ninth overall in 10 matches.
They were most impressive in the third where Rondina sustained her relentless assaults, including impressive plays from the backrow, and Maika Ortiz sealed the team’s one-hour and 20-minute victory with a running attack after the Defenders saved one match point with a down-the-line hit.
Earlier, Farm Fresh started strong in the fourth and the Foxies repulsed the Galeries Tower Highrisers 25-10, 25-18, 24-26, 25-19.
The win was only the Foxies’ second against eight losses in the season-ending conference of the league organized by Sports Vision but enough to stir up their spirits and boost their morale heading to their final match against fellow ousted team Nxled in Iloilo this weekend.
The win primed up Choco Mucho for its final eliminations match against fellow semifinalist Chery Tiggo for positioning in the semis in Iloilo this Saturday.
The Nos. 1 and 4 teams and the Nos. 2 and 3 squads will dispute the finals berths in a pair of best-of-matches.
Creamline continues to set pace with an 8-0 card with the fourth and last spot still being disputed by three teams although Cignal has the inside track to the coveted Final Four berth with a 7-3 slate and with Gerflor as its final elims assignment on Dec. 5.
