    Choco Mucho vs Chery Tiggo recap

    Kat Tolentino led the charge for the Flying Titans with 22 points off 20 attacks to send the crowd of over 3,000 happy in this conference opener.

    Isa Molde added nine markers, Aduke Ogunsanya had seven, and Deanna Wong still had 16 excellent sets despite playing through her shin injury to deliver Choco Mucho's first win.

    Chery Tiggo played depleted in this match, with four players being placed under health and safety protocols to add to the growing injury list with Dindin Santiago-Manabat nursing a sprained ankle.

    Despite their absence, the Crossovers engaged in a nip-and-tuck battle and even gave the Flying Titans a scare after closing in, 24-23, in the third set.

    But Tolentino came through with a backrow attack to seal Choco Mucho's sweep.
