After splitting the first four sets, Petron, who was forced to climb back from two sets down, took a 13-9 lead late in the set with a kill by Frances Molina, Aiza Maizo Pontillas’ block on Mylene Paat, and Rondina delivering back-to-back hits to seal the win.
In the other game, the Foton Tornadoes Blue Energy tallied its third consecutive victory with a 25-21, 25-21, 25-15 sweep over the PLDT Home Fibr Power Hitters./ASC, WDJ
