CHOCO Mucho eked out a 23-25, 25-20, 25-16, 25-27, 15-11 decision over Army Black Mamba yesterday to rediscover its winning ways in the PVL All-Filipino Conference at The Arena in San Juan.
With the win, the Flying Titans snapped a mini two-game skid, thanks to Kat Tolentino who delivered 20 points and Isa Molde who added 19 markers.
Regine Arocha also stepped up for Choco Mucho with 13 points and eight excellent receptions, with starter Des Cheng sitting out the match due to stomach flu.
“Siyempre sobrang sinwerte (kami) sa sitwasyon na ito. Sabi ko nga sa team namin, unti-unti. Kung ano man iyong gusto naming mangyari sa loob ng court, nakita namin ngayon,” Flying Titans coach Dante Alinsunurin said. “Medyo umangat iyong blockings namin kaya siguro mas naging maganda laro namin sa depensa.”
“Ni-remind ko lang na lumaban lang din then tuloy pa rin kung ano iyong sitwasyon basta ang importante natututo tayo sa ganoong sitwasyon. basta sinabi ko lang sa kanila, all out lang sa ganoong sitwasyon.” he added as skipper Bea De Leon also missed the game (under the weather).
Choco Mucho improved to 2-2.
The Lady Troopers remained winless in four games in the import-less meet and absorbed their 17th straight loss dating back to July 26, 2022, of the Invitational Conference.
