So outclassed were the Lady Dolphins that Pocari could play all-Filipino and still win. The loss dropped the HD Spikers to joint third in the six-team field with Instituto Estetico Manila at 1-1 behind Air Force and Philippine Army (1-0). The Jet Spikers’ overpowering offense pulled them through despite 37 errors, 20 more than Cignal’s 17 with coach Rhovyl Verayo attributing it to three days of no training since last Friday. Mark Gil Alfafara and Howard Mojica, both former UAAP and NCAA MVPs, respectively, and veterans Jhayr Labrador and Jeffrey Malabanan carried the Jet Spikers in the thick of the fight. But the Jet Spikers made it close in the next three and swept them.
