MANILA, Philippines–Choco Mucho kept its semifinals hope alive after outlasting Motolite, 19-25, 25-21, 25-15, 28-26, Wednesday night in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference at FilOil Flying VCenter.

Kat Tolentino scored four of her 27 points in the extended fourth frame to help the Flying Titans secure their fourth consecutive wins upping their record to 6-6 in a hope to catch up with league leaders.

It was also revenge of sorts for Choco Mucho, which dropped a five-set thriller to Motolite in the first round in a match that saw the Flying Titans taking the first two sets.

Motolite dropped to its second straight defeat to slide to 7-5, tying idle BanKo Perlas at third place.
