Bali Pure, however, was just one of two teams along with Sta. Lucia to have beaten eventual champion Chery Tiggo in the eliminations.
Bicar finished with seven points and 24 excellent sets in that match the Water Defenders won 19-25, 25-19, 13-25, 27-25, 15-12.
University of Santo Tomas’ former captain has yet to win another medal in the PVL after she helped Army to a third place finish in the 2019 Reinforced Conference.
The Angels are looking to improve on their fourth place finish in the Open Conference wherein they finished with a 6-3 card.
