On Sunday, Tolenada opened the firing lanes for her team’s top gunners to crush BaliPure, 25-9, 25-20, 25-19, for a second straight win in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference at FilOil Flying V Centre.

“It was great team work and consistency on and off the court,” said Tolenada. “Everyone on the bench contributed and that’s what it’s all about.”
