In the third game, Foton routed Standard Insurance-Navy, 25-11, 25-22, 25-11, to post its fourth win in seven games.
The Navy Corvettes fell to 2-4.
Also providing thrill in PSL’s first out-of-town sortie this conference is the selection of Petron libero Jen Reyes as fourth member of the national team seeing action in the FIVB Women’s Club World Championships in October.
“She’s the best in the business when it comes to defending the floor,” PSL president Ramon “Tats” Suzara said of Reyes.

Rookie Ara Galang pumped in 12 points for the Cargo Movers, who unleashed the full brunt of their firepower against the disjointed Tri Activ Spikers.
Fajardo also finished with 29 excellent sets for F2 and sparked a 16-7 fourth-set rally that finally knocked out Petron.
