The Jet Spikers, however, dominated the third behind Saengmuang, Iari Yongco, Jocemer Tapic and ace setter Wendy Semana, only to struggle in the face of the Lady Warriors’ strong fourth set charge. Lucia swept Army, 25-17, 25-19, 25-21, to join Cignal HD and Air Force in the semifinal round in the men’s side of the league backed by Mikasa and Asics. Berlin Paglinawan fired 13 hits, Ace Mandani added 11 markers and Israel Encina and Kurl Rosete chipped in 10 points apiece for the Wrecking Balls, who tied the HD Spikers at 3-1 behind frontrunning Air Force (4-1). The loss dropped Army to 2-3 in a tie with Instituto Estetico Manila for fourth to force a playoff for the last Final Four seat.
