Fluid Angels win third straight; Cool Smashers score

In a conference that requires seamless teamwork, PetroGazz appears to have found the perfect blend quicker that everyone else.

PetroGazz zoomed to solo top spot after winning its third straight game, this time besting underpowered Motolite, 25-22, 25-18, 25-19, Sunday in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at Filoil Flying V Centre.

Later, defending champion Creamline escaped with a 23-25, 25-12, 25-17, 25-23 win over BanKo Perlas for its second consecutive triumph.

Kuttika Kaewpin slammed down 27 points for the Cool Smashers, who improved to 2-1 and dealt the Perlas Spikers a second loss in three games.

Star spiker Alyssa Valdez contributed 19 points off 15 kills.

Djanel Cheng displayed smarts and guts in opening up scoring alleys for imports Wilma Salas and Janisa Johnson as the Angels handed the Motolite Spikers’ a second successive defeat.

“We have a very good jelling now—locals and imports—we know what we need to communicate well,” Cheng said in Filipino.

Salas banged in 25 points, while Johnson added 13 for the Angels, who have not yielded a set so far in the conference.
