MANILA, Philippines—Cagayan Valley needed only three sets to dispatch PLDT Home Telpad, 25-17, 25-17, 27-25, despite going without any of its foreign reinforcements in the Shakey’s V-League Season 11 Sunday night at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Aiza Maizo, the former University of Santo Tomas star, led the Lady Rising Suns’ all-Filipino crew with 15 points while also getting help from Janine Marciano, who added 13.
The Lady Suns have yet to parade their Thai imports Patcharee Saengmuang and Amporn Hyapha after two games.
“Unlike last time, we were able to adjust with our lineup. We already knew that we’re not going to play with an import,” said Cagayan head coach Nes Pamilar.
Cagayan lost to powerhouse Philippine Army in five sets in its previous game.
“Last time, we only knew that they won’t be able to play during the game itself but now we were able to prepare,” Pamilar added.
PLDT skipper Suzanne Roces had 15 points to lead her team, which dropped to 1-1.
