PSL: Petron rips Cignal, reaches quarters

/ 04:27 AM July 10, 2014

Petron formalized its entry to the quarterfinals after thrashing Cignal HD, 25-17, 23-25, 25-20, 25-19, last night in the Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Conference women’s volleyball division at Cuneta Astrodome.

The Blaze Spikers posted their fourth win in six elimination matches and, more importantly, halted an alarming two-game losing streak going into the knockout stages.

It looked like Cignal, runner-up the past two conferences, would put up a big fight after taking the second set. But the HD Spikers failed to sustain their drive in the next two sets to bow out of the race with a 1-5 record.
