“Still, I am really excited for the next match especially because it’s against a team that we’re familiar with and has the similar system with us,” she added.
The winner between Choco Mucho, led by Kalei Mau, and Rebisco gets a shot to play for fifth while the loser goes home winless and finishes dead last in the tournament.
