The three-time MVP’s return sparked an 11-2 run capped by Bea De Leon and Jema Galanza for a 22-15 advantage. Lorie Bernardo nailed three consecutive points to finish the game in an hour and 35 minutes.

ANTIPOLO— Seeing familiar faces on the other side, Cignal still flaunted its strong bond amid the offseason exodus and swept Farm Fresh, 25-15, 25-18, 25-21, in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Saturday at Ynares Center Antipolo.
Cignal coach Shaq Delos Santos was thrilled to see his former players Rachel Anne Daquis and Jheck Dionela with the Foxies, although the pair didn’t play as they are still working their way back to tip-top shape.

PVL: Creamline starts drive for No. 5
After a record-breaking Grand Slam in the last PVL season, the Creamline Cool Smashers are back with the same determination to keep their lofty standing using an old, tried-and-tested formula and relentless drive for success.
Skipper Alyssa Valdez returns from injury bay to again spearhead the Cool Smashers, who will be looking to win the All-Filipino Conference for the fifth straight time and fourth straight tournament.
“Our preparation remains unchanged,” Valdez said as Creamline opens the season against dangerous Petro Gazz and Brooke Van Sickle, the prolific offensive gun who will be coming off a 34-point outing.
