Chery Tiggo made its title campaign felt with a 25-6, 25-15, 25-15 rout of newcomer Capital1 in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City on Tuesday night, Feb. 20.
The Crossovers flexed their might against the jittery Solar Spikers with new recruit Ara Galang leading the all-around charge to claim their first victory and join the Petro Gazz Angels in the winning column.
Galang, who came from the disbanded F2 Logistics, came through with 12 points built on nine kills, two aces and one block.
“Excited lang talaga to play with my new teammates,” said Galang. “Hindi mahirap yung adjustment pero alam naming marami pa rin kaming kailangan gawin para i-improve yung game namin.”
Chery Tiggo, which hopes to eclipse its fifth-place finish last year, started hot with an 11-2 start and went on to dominate the opening set before encountering stiff resistance from Capital1 in the next two frames.
Mylene Paat took charge of the Crossovers’ offense by pouring all her 11 points on attacks, while skipper Aby Maraño and Ponggay Gaston combined for 11 points.
Jannine Navarro, Sydney Niegos and Patty Orendain tried to lift Capital1 by teaming up for 16 points, but their efforts went futile.
