Petron thumps F2 Logistics for 2nd straight PSL All-Filipino crown


MANILA, Philippines—Petron blitzed to a second straight title after pummelling F2 Logistics, 25-22, 26-24, 25-23, in Game 3 of the Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Finals Thursday at Filoil Flying V Center.

The Blaze Spikers also won their fourth league title breaking their tie with the Cargo Movers, who has three, with the most championships.

Aiza Maizo-Pontillas paced Petron with 13 points while Bernadeth Pons added 11 points.

Petron and F2 were engaged in a tit-for-tat for much of the third set with the Blaze Spikers unable to create much leeway throughout, until Bernadeth Pons bounced off her attack off of Cha Cruz-Behag to give her team a 22-18 lead.

F2, however, got within striking distance once more when Mika Reyes’ service error made it a one-point game at 23-22.

The Blaze Spikers then sealed the winning point when the Cargo Movers were called with a double contact violation that ended a long rally.

Cruz-Behag and Ara Galang had 10 points apiece to lead the Cargo Movers.
