Generika shrugged off a poor first set and proceeded to dominate Amy’s, 24-26, 25-13, 25-19, 25-14, in the second round of the Philippine Super Liga All-Filipino Conference Saturday at San Juan Arena.
Joy Dacoron sealed the win for the Lifesavers with a hit from the middle that went through two Spiker defenders as Generika improved to 2-0 in the second round.
Assistant coach Jeffrey Drio, taking over for Lifesavers head coach Francis Vicente who had to tend to his duties with the Under-18 National Team, reminded the team not to take anyone lightly.
“Yun ang sinasabi namin sa players na okay lang magka-kumpyansa, wag lang sobra kasi yun yung nagiging sakit ng players na pag alam nilang nilang kaya nila kalaban nila ang resulta natatalo sa isang set,” said Drio.
“Ine-emphasize ko na kahit kaya nila yung kalaban dapat ibigay best nila para hindi makakuha ng momentum. Once makakuha ng momentum kalaban mahirap nang talunin.”
Rubie De Leon gave Generika the 24-14 lead with a service ace.
Chloe Cortez led all scorers with 17 points while Ria Meneses and Wensh Tiu had 15 and 11 points, respectively.
Cindy Imbo had nine points to lead Amy’s.
