On the heels of a big debut win over the Tangerines, the Monarchs swept the the Pasay Lady Monarchs, 25-13, 26-24, 25-20, for a 2-0 slate in the eight-team tourney founded by former Senator Manny Pacquiao, also the man behind the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).
Vange Alinsug scored 12 points while Alexa Nichole Mata and Myrtle Escanlar had nine points each for the powerhouse Dasma squad backed by two-time UAAP and three-time SSL champion National U Lady Bulldogs.
Dasma needed only 81 minutes to dispatch Pasay after also a sweep of Quezon, 25-22, 25-23, 25-23, last week to emerge as the early title favorite in the second third staging of the MPVA Mikasa, Asics, Spurway Enterprise, Gerflor, Smart Communications and XIV Apparel with the Volleyball Masters of the Philippines as organizer.
Pasay slid to 1-1, failing to follow up its 25-23, 13-25, 25-17, 23-25, 15-8 win over the Negros ICC Blue Hawks despite the 14 and 10 points, respectively, of Euricka Eslapor and Florize Ann Papa.
In the other game, Camilla Amor Bartolome rifled in 19 points as Quezon poured its wrath on the Caloocan AM Spikers, 25-12, 25-14, 25-21, for a 1-1 slate.
Yesha Keith Rojo and Fionna Marie Inocentes added nine points each for the Tangerines backed by the four-peat NCAA champions College of St. Benilde Lady Blazers.
Souzan Raslan had nine points as the lone bright spot for the AM Spikers in their tough debut.
Meanwhile, the San Juan Lady Knights debuted with a 25-17, 25-20, 25-16 win over the Marikina Lady Shoemasters, behind the 12 and 10 points of Kaycee Balingit and Cunada Chamberlaine, respectively.
Brigitte Martinez churned out eight points for the Lady Shoemasters.
