KRISTEL SATUMBAGA

Cignal exacted sweet revenge on preliminaries conqueror Chery Tiggo with a 28-26, 25-17, 25-23 victory Thursday night, Nov. 24, at the start of the semifinals in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

The HD Spikers proved steadier in the crunch, coming through with clutch plays in the third set to draw level with Creamline at the start of the round-robin phase.

The Cool Smashers earlier defeated Petro Gazz, 25-21, 25-20, 25-23.

Tai Bierria flexed her might and fired 21 points built on 19 kills and two blocks, while Angeli Araneta also stepped up to contribute 10 points as Cignal avenged its 25-23, 20-25, 25-21, 25-20 to Chery Tiggo last Oct. 15.

Skipper Rachel Anne Daquis also poured all her nine points on attacks for the HD Spikers even as Ria Meneses and Roselyn Doria combined for 16 points.

Mylene Paat and Jelena Cvijovic were limited to 11 and 10 points as Chery Tiggo were outplayed in attacks, 52-39.

It also didn’t help that the Crossovers only managed 10 excellent sets.
