Tacloban creams Pocari

Tacloban put in enough spunk worthy of its moniker to frustrate defending champion Pocari Sweat, 25-17, 17-25, 25-20, 16-25, 15-10, Sunday night and register its fourth win in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at FilOil Flying V Center.

When the game was on the line, Jovielyn Prado unloaded four of her 17 points as the Fighting Warays crowded the upper half of the standings with a 4-3 record and stay within striking distance of league-leading Creamline (5-1) and Paymaya (4-2).

“In the fifth set, I was thinking that whichever team is more composed will have the edge,” said Prado in Filipino. “And I showed them that I also have championship experience.”

The two-time NCAA champion for Arellano University sparked a 5-0 burst that gave the Fighting Warays a 9-4 buffer in the deciding frame.
