CIGNAL breezed past also-ran Nxled, 25-17, 25-14, 25-14, to move one win away from a semifinal berth in the 2023 PVL All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena on Saturday.
Jovelyn Gonzaga led the commanding victory with 12 points on nine attacks and three blocks as Cignal improved to 7-3 (win-loss).
“Mahirap kasi ang lalim talaga ng hugot namin from last game (five-set loss to Chery Tiggo). Lagi lang reminder ng coaching staff namin na mag-move forward kami kasi may last game pa kami na napaka-importante (versus Gerflor),” said Gonzaga.
“Kailangan naming ipanalo para may baon kaming confidence and pride sa semis. I-credit ko rin si Gel (Cayuna) dahil ang ganda ng ball distribution niya,” she added.
Four HD Spikers hit double figures in the three-set win as Vanie Gandler and Rose Doria had 12 markers apiece, with reigning MVP Ces Molina adding 11.
Nxled, meanwhile, lost for the seventh time in 10 games in its debut conference.
Meager six-point outputs from Lycha Ebon, Camille Victoria, and the returning May Luna paced the Chameleons.
