BanKo-Perlas wore down PetroGazz in a duel of teams that played back-to-back games, hacking out a 25-22, 25-17, 22-25, 25-17 decision to wrest the solo lead in the Premier Volleyball League Season 2 Open Conference at Imus Sports Complex in Cavite late Sunday.
The Perlas Spikers yielded the third set but battled back from 0-7 deficit in the fourth behind Dzi Gervacio, Amy Ahomiro, Amanda Villanueva, Nicole Tiamzon and Joy Dacoron to secure their second straight win over the weekend.
