PetroGazz booked its first ever championship ticket after bumping off BanKo Perlas, 25-23, 25-18, 25-17, Saturday in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at Ynares in Antipolo City.
The Angels once again let loose of heavy-scoring imports Wilma Salas and Janisa Johnson to fashion out the easy win. They will face the winner of the other semifinal series where Creamline has a 1-0 lead over PacificTown-Army.

In the second set alone, PetroGazz outgunned BanKo, scoring 17 on attacks against 10 by the Perlas Spikers.
