Skipper Angeli Araneta had nine markers and Maika Ortiz chipped in six for the Tornadoes, who capitalized on Cignal’s poor reception and had six service aces.
“’Yung team nag-step up sa gusto namin mangyari kasi hindi kami natuwa sa previous game namin,” said Foton coach Vilet Ponce de Leon. “Make or break kami ngayon so sabi ko patunayan nila sa performance nila ngayon.”
“So far happy naman kami doon sa development compared sa mga first games namin, ngayon paangat na game namin, siguro 85-90 percent na kami maganda nga ang mangyayarai pe-paek kami towards second round,” she added.
