THIRD SET BEFORE POURING IT ALL OUT IN THE FOURTH

RACHEL ANNE DAQUIS AND JOVELYN GONZAGA,

CHAMPIONSHIP IN MANILA THIS OCTOBER, DISPLAYED
THEIR DEADLY FORM TO TOW LADY TROOPERS TO
VICTORY IN THE INTER CLUB TOURNEY.

DAQUIS DELIVERED 18 KILLS, TWO ACES AND ONE

BLOCK TO FINISH WITH 21 POINTS WHILE GONZAGA
ALSO HAD 21-POINT PRODUCTION FOR THE ARMY TO
REMAINS UNDEFEATED IN FIVE OUTINGS TO OCCUPY
THE SOLO LEAD.

“WE’RE A BIT SLUGGISH, BUT I’M SO HAPPY THAT

SOMEHOW WE PULLED IT OFF,” SAID RC COLA-ARMY
COACH FU REYES.
 “WE LOST OUR COVERAGE IN THE THIRD SET. WE
ALSO LOST OUR POWER ON OUR SPIKES. THAT’S WHY IN
THE FOURTH, I TOLD THEM TO ATTACK JAJA SANTIAGO
AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR HER TO
EXECUTE.” HE ADDED.

EJ LAURE STARRED WITH 16 KILLS TO FINISH WITH

18 POINTS WHILE SANTIAGO CHIPPED IN 16 MARKERS
FOR FOTON, WHICH ABSORBED ITS THIRD SETBACK IN
FIVE GAMES.

“LOSING A TERRIBLE SET IS PART OF THE GAME,

THAT LOSS ALLOWED US TO TEST OUR SECOND SIX SO
THEY CAN EASILY ADJUST COMING INTO THE NEXT
GAME.” SAID FOTON COACH BARRY PASCUA.
