REVAMPED Chery Tiggo continued to roll on Thursday, pulling off a 23-25, 25-21, 21-25, 25-21, 15-6 victory over Akari Power Chargers in the 2022 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference at the PhilSports Arena.
Mylene Paat led from the front with a team-high 19 points on 17 attacks and two blocks, while Cza Carandang added 18 points in the Crossovers' third win in as many games in the import-flavored conference.
Montenegrin import Jelena Cvijovic opened the deciding set with four points to highlight an all-around performance marked by 16 points and 13 receptions.
“Talagang slow start kami. More on boosting lang ng morale nila and positive lang yung sinasabi namin na kaya natin igalaw lang natin kung ano ang dapat nating igalaw,” said Chery Tiggo coach Clarence Esteban.
The Power Chargers dropped to 1-2.
Down two sets to one, the Crossovers led by as many as eight points, 24-16, and closed out the set even after Akari’s reinforcement Prisilla Rivera led a run that pulled the Power Chargers within 24-21.
The momentum shifted entirely to the side of Chery Tiggo in the fifth, where it opened an 8-2 lead before Shaya Adorador wrapped up the win with back-to-back points to cap her timely five-point contribution off the bench.
Rivera led the way with 30 points and got plenty of help from Janine Marciano, who registered a triple-double of 24 points, 18 digs and 14 receptions.
