Highrisers win one after 345 daysErica Jin Deloria of Galeries Tower puts up a solid defense against Jovelyn Gonzaga of Zus Coffee in the Highrisers’ breakthrough win yesterday. MANILA, Philippines — There’s nowhere to go but up for the Galeries Tower Highrisers. “Sobrang happy ako sa team tonight na kumapit talaga kaming lahat.”The win ended a string of 17 straight defeats that started after it shocked Cignal on Feb. 27 last year – a losing spell that lasted 345 days. Interestingly, that stunning result against Cignal catapulted Galeries Tower to its breakthrough quarterfinal appearance. But good things come to those who wait as the Highrisers finally emerged from the ashes after revamping their old roster and acquiring a new coach in Clarence Esteban.
