High Speed Hitters boot out Flying Titans
MANILA, Philippines — PLDT survived an atrocious start as it eliminated Choco Mucho, 21-25, 25-18, 25-16, 25-19, yesterday while handing Farm Fresh the eighth and last quarterfinal seat in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.
Russian destroyer Elena Samoilenko was at her usual best as she unloaded a monster 30-point effort in powering the High Speed Hitters to a 6-2 finish in the two-round eliminations.
They will battle the Chery Tiggo Crossovers (5-2) in the quarters Tuesday regardless of the result of the latter’s duel with the Petro Gazz Angels (4-3) yesterday.
Blessed by PLDT’s win was Farm Fresh, which took last spot to the knockout playoff phase after winding up with a 3-5 card.
The Flying Titans finished at No. 9 with a 2-6 slate.
Choco Mucho’s final stand was hit by the absence of coach Dante Alinsunurin, who was out of the country due to national team duties, and import Zoi Faki, who was under the weather.
Earlier, Creamline zapped the aroma out of ZUS Coffee with a quick, merciless 25-17, 25-15, 25-22 victory that sealed for the former the No. 3 seed in the quarters with a 6-2 record.
American Erica Mary Staunton paced Creamline with 17 points.
