Despite dropping Game One in straight-set fashion, defending champion Pocari Sweat remains confident of getting back at BaliPure – not once but twice-in-a-row. Pocari also groped for form in the elims, needing a late burst and bucking Pablo’s absence due to injury to advance. The Lady Warriors also faced elimination in the semis but fought back from two sets down and two match points to repel the Air Force Lady Jet Spikers in five. They also have to minimize their errors after giving away 18 points off miscues while allowing BaliPure to hammer in nine service winners in the series opener. “They played a pretty solid game, especially Urdas,” added Gorayeb, citing the former National U mainstay’s superb game that included 12 kills and three kill blocks.
