GOING full throttle right from the start, Army overwhelmed Baguio, 25-7, 25-17, 25-10, yesterday to tighten its grip of second spot in the Shakey’s V-League Open Conference at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

Relentless at the net, Dindin Santiago-Manabat fired 13 points, while Honey Royce Tubino finished with 10 points as the Lady Troopers rolled to their fourth win in five outings and maintained their position behind  PLDT Home Ultera.

Not even a delay due to a power outage in the second set could stop the Lady Troopers from inflicting more misery on the Summer Spikers, who lost for the fourth time in five games in their maiden appearance in the tournament.

Later, Cagayan Valley vented its ire on Philippine Coast Guard, 25-17, 25-10, 25-19, to improve to 3-1.
