With their fate already sealed, the High Speed Hitters gained a much-needed confidence boost heading into the battle for third series against Farm Fresh.

Meanwhile, Cignal’s loss had no bearing on its campaign, having already secured a Top 2 finish entering the final day of single round-robin semifinals.
Savi Davison rediscovered her winning form with 21 points and 11 receptions.
Alleiah Malaluan sustained her breakout semis run with 11 points and 14 digs, while Kim Fajardo orchestrated the offense with 23 excellent sets and five points. Kath Arado also delivered a steady 13-dig, 14-reception double-double.
“Sadyang unfortunate lang na hindi namin nakuha ‘yung unang goal na panalo sa isa du’n sa dalawa [Creamline and Farm Fresh], pero kailangang mag-move on agad,” said PLDT head coach Rald Ricafort.
