Cocolife continued its winning ways after cruising past Foton, 25-19, 25-22, 25-18, in the 2018 Philippine Superliga Grand Prix Saturday at Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.

Serbian star Sara Klisura scored at will against her former team and finished with 28 points to lead the Asset Managers, who rolled to their third straight win.

“This was the first time that you actually saw our teamwork,” said Klisura, who set the PSL record last year with 41 points.

“All of the parts worked well and all of the players did their job so that was how we won like all the players did a very good job and that makes me happy.”

Cocolife lost its first two games of the conference but has been a different team as of late with Klisura at the forefront of the team’s resurgence.

American import Taylor Milton and savvy setter Tina Salak have also picked it up a notch to provide the Asset Managers another weapon and more stability on the defensive end.

Milton had 11 points and 15 digs while Salak dished out 19 excellent sets.

Former national team mainstay Nene Bautista also gave Cocolife a lift with timely hits. She only scored six points but her last two conversions ended the game.

Imports Brooke Kranda and Elizabeth Wendel had 12 points apiece for the Tornadoes (1-2), who suffered their second straight setback.
