PETRO Gazz ripped Chery Tiggo to shreds in a dominant 25-21, 25-19, 25-14 semis romp to set up an all-PVL gold medal match with Cignal in the 2024 PNVF Champions League finals.
The Angels had full control from the get-go with Fil-American ace Brooke Van Sickle swiftly manning the offense — just as it has been all tournament long.

After nearly two years, Cignal and Petro Gazz will rekindle its 2022 PVL Reinforced Conference finals series which was won by the Angels in a two-game sweep.
"Sobrang exciting 'yung game (versus Cignal) kasi nga winner-take-all lang siya and also siyempre nandun kami sa vibe ngayon na okay high emotions kami pero hindi pa rin namin pwedeng kalimutan yung goal and mag-stick pa rin dapat sa process," said Petro Gazz captain Remy Palma.
"Kung sino man yung ibigay na kalaban sa amin, lagi kaming nireremind ni coach Koji na we need to stick to the process and on the plan and sa program na binibigay niya sa amin," she added.
She may only have just five games under her belt as a Petro Gazz Angel and in Philippine volleyball altogether, but the former US NCAA MVP knows how any championship game is as tough as can be — more so in a new team, new league, and new country.
"I’m expecting tomorrow they’re (Cignal) gonna come on fire, for sure. Especially since they’ve just played a five-setter, they’re gonna definitely come out very aggressive," said Van Sickle.
"But as long as we stay calm, we just take care of our business, I believe we can compete for sure. It’s anyone’s game. It’s just who’s making less errors, and who’s the one coming out aggressive. I believe both teams will, but hopefully, we’ll have a little bit more," she added.
