Pocari, Air Force dispute VL crownPocari Sweat and Air Force put a fitting climax to a surprise-filled conference as they slug it out one last time for the Shakeys’ V-League Season 13 Open crown today at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City. The Lady Warriors go to their 6 p.m. showdown enjoying the proverbial momentum after pulling off a come-from-behind a 17-25, 25-22, 25-14, 25-20 victory last Saturday to force a sudden death in their best-of-three series. Expect Judy Ann Caballejo to step up after the former University of Santo Tomas star, which normed 12 points in the eliminations to help power Air Force to a surprise top finish, struggled for eight and six-hit efforts in the first two games of the finals. “We showed composure, which was lacking in our previous game,” said Pocari interim coach Rommel Abella, pointing to his wards’ poise, particularly in the second and third sets that was close throughout. Caballejo, however, made up for the scoring slack by coming through with 11 excellent digs.
