After a relatively easy first set, the Lifesavers were pushed to their limits in the last two sets as they turned to Patty Orendain to eke out the victory.

“Our play still goes on and off, sometimes we go all out, sometimes we hold back and that’s the part that we need to sharpen [during the off-season].”
Orendain wound up with a game-high 15 points while Geneveve Casugod added 13 points, including three service aces.
