Choco Mucho Finishes Epic Comeback
Eya Laure scored the first point of the deciding set, and after Capital1 tied it at 1-1, Choco Mucho went on a 7-2 run to lead by five when the teams switched sides. Sisi Rondina-Rosales kept the Solar Spikers on their heels, including a putaway after Dawn Catindig dug a hard spike from Bella Belen.
A back-row kill from Laure, set up by an attack error from Vanie Gandler, gave the Flying Titans their first match point. Belen stuffed Kat Tolentino to save it, but Pia Abbu served into the net on the following rally to end the match.
“Siguro in-accept nila ‘yung challenge ko after nung second set. Talagang nag-focus ako sa galit para sa kanila,” said Choco Mucho head coach Dante Alinsunurin. “Sinabi ko sa kanila na hindi ko kailangan kung magaling ka—kailangan ko ‘yung team na gustong manalo. ‘Yun siguro, na-challenge sila. Sobrang thankful ako sa naging response nila. Sana hindi ngayon lang ‘to, sana marami pa ring magawa sa next game namin.”
