Grethcel Soltones eased the Lady Stags’ into the victory when her final service was ruled an ace.

Lady Stags head coach Roger Gorayeb was pleased with how his offense got balanced out with Joyce Sta. Rita and Katherine Villegas complementing the scoring of Soltones.

“Not all of the offense went through Grethcel, usually around 80 percent of our offense revolved around her now it’s around 65,” said Gorayeb.

Sta. Rita’s 13 points equaled Soltones’ output while Villegas added nine.

“I really don’t have much problems on defense because Eroa’s in there.”
