Choco Mucho cops seven wins in a row with four-set romp of F2

Red-hot Choco Mucho imposed its will and cruised to its seventh straight win after defeating F2 Logistics, 19-25, 25-8, 25-17, 25-19, in the 2023 Second PVL All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

Sisi Rondina continued her brillianct play, pouring in a team-high 21 points all built on attacks while also making her contributions felt on the defensive end after collecting 12 receptions.

Rondina's steady presence allowed the Flying Titans to take a 22-17 lead in the fourth set before an attack error from her saw the Cargo Movers pull to within four.

But the high-flyer open spiker redeemed herself by soaring from the back row to deliver a solid match point before Isa Molde took advantage of an overpass from F2 Logistics' veteran libero Dawn Macandali off a Caitlin Viray service for the winning point.

Molde tallied 13 points while middle blocker Cherry Nunag chipped in 10 markers as Choco Mucho improved to 7-1 and gained a share of the second spot with Chery Tiggo while F2 slipped to 4-5.

The Crossovers, on the other hand, had to work their way up against Cignal before eking out a 17-25, 25-19, 21-25, 25-22, 16-14 win in the extended clash.

Eya Laure shone the brightest with 26 points anchored on 21 attacks, three blocks, and two service aces while Ponggay Gaston provided the help with 18 markers.

Meanwhile, Petro Gazz recovered from a previous loss after sending Farm Fresh back to reality with a 25-22, 19-25, 25-16, 26-24 win behind Jonah Sabete.

Sabete listed 21 points on 16 attacks, three blocks, and one ace while other veterans stepped up as Grethcel Soltones and Aiza Maizo-Pontillas produced 16 and 13 markers apiece to help the Angels improved to 5-4.
