4 Generika-Ayala Lifesavers in the quarterfinals then toppled the highly-favored and two-time champion Blaze
Spikers in the semis.
From a 4-4 contest in the third set, the HD
Spikers went with an 11-2 run to put up a commanding, 15-6, and Daquis took over with her own 3-0 spurt to widen the gap, 21-9, en route to reach set point, 24-10.
Spiker also is licensed with the state of North Carolina as a general building contractor and real estate broker.
As in the "Repeat Hitting" drill, the coach tosses a perfect set to the
spiker, and the
spiker alternates hitting from Area 1 ("Down the Line") and Area 2 ("Cross-Court").
It was a lopsided ending very few saw coming, as the HD
Spikers harped leading into the second game that they would be bouncing back hard after learning from their mistakes in Game 1.
The HD
Spikers also retooled their roster and added May Luna and Norielle Ipac, two of de Jesus's vital cogs at De La Salle University, as well as Alohi Robins-Hardy, who played with Mau at United VC.
Cignal will be coming into the game as a better rested side compared to the team that played Game 1, and that makes the HD
Spikers even more dangerous.
The Cargo Movers had the HD
Spikers all figured out from the get-go in Game 2 after the two squads went the full distance in the finals opener.
The Petron streak came to a halt when the Cargo Movers took Game One of the best-of-three Finals, a setback that transformed the Blaze
Spikers into a more well-oiled machine.
Daquis didn't play in the third and fourth sets, the frames the HD
Spikers won before coming in as a substitute in the fifth.
Losing Game 1 turned out to be a blessing for the Petron Blaze
Spikers as they willed themselves to go all out in capturing the Philippine Superliga Grand Prix crown before a huge Saturday at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
At the end of their 'most challenging conference,' the Petron Blaze
Spikers raised a trophy and donned their medals.
