RC Cola-Army is still far from where it wanted to be, but apparently, even an out-of-form version of itself is still good enough to win in straight sets.
The Lady Troopers, still groping for form, dominated Amy’s Kitchen, 25-19, 25-17, 25-18, in the 2016 Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Conference Tuesday night at Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
“Medyo kinakabahan pa kami. Kung ganoon lalaruin namin, kung le-level sa skills at experience namin, pwede pa kami matalo. Buti na lang medyo bata pa mga kalaban,” said RC Cola-Army head coach Emilio “Kungfu” Reyes.
“Nakita naman namin na na-execute namin yung play pero medyo stiff pa. So we need to maximize our strengths, 70 percent pa lang kami sa mga ginagawa namin. Sana by Saturday umangat na laro namin,” Reyes said.
RC Cola’s Honey Royse Tubino led all scorers with 15 points as she and Rachel Anne Daquis combined for 25 kills.
The Lady Troopers, the four-time champions, take on Cignal next in a game they believe is their first real test in their bid to win the crown anew.
“Taas ng competition ngayon sa All-Filipino. Paghahandaan din namin sila. Kung sino nasa harapan namin doon lang kami naka-focus.”
Ma. Lourdes Clemente had 10 points for Amy’s Spikers.
