PLDT Home Fibr got the big breaks and took advantage of the absences of several key Cignal players yesterday in carving out a 25-19, 25-20, 21-25, 25-22 win that sealed its semis entry in the Premier Volleyball League Invitational at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.
In full force against a team which showed up with just eight players, the High Speed Hitters took full advantage of their edge in manpower, dominating the first two sets but wavered in the third after securing the coveted slot.
Choco Mucho outplayed Cignal, 25-17, 25-21, 21-25, 25-22, Wednesday to take Game 1 of their best-of-three battle for third place in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
