    The hardworking big man had a quiet 17-point, seven-rebound effort in the Road Warriors’ 94-76 win over the Phoenix Fuel Masters during the lone PBA Philippine Cup game Saturday at the Don Honorio Ventura State College gym in Bacolor, Pampanga.

    Soyud was near flawless from the floor where he shot 8-of-9 and had no turnovers in 18 minutes of action.

    It was his first game with the Road Warriors in the Pampanga bubble after missing their game against Alaska due to sprain.

    Coach Yeng Guiao naturally welcomed the return of one of his trusted frontcourt man.

    “Malaking bagay si Raul galing sa sprained ankle. May pain pa nga, pero he played through the pain,” he said of Soyud’s effort to suit up for the game despite not yet fully healed from his injury.
