Surviving a momentary loss of focus in the third set on Friday, Petro Gazz went on to bamboozle Akari, 25-15, 25-19, 22-25, 25-16, to take the second semifinal seat in the All-Filipino Conference Premier Volleyball League at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

And with the first goal of finishing the playoffs and finishing, work continues for coach Oliver Almadro and the Angels game, who want to achieve another goal in the next few weeks.

“As I said before, we will work hard to achieve our real goals,” said Almadro, referring to the semi-final entry. “And if God will give us a chance to go to the final, then we will be happy.”

Almadro has said that he is a very happy camper after the Angels responded to his instructions since he took over in January, and making the playoffs ensures that Petro Gazz has the opportunity to compete for another title after winning the Reinforced Conference with Lindsay Vander. Weide.

Held for the last six-point output of the game, Gretchel Soltones bounced back with aplomb, scoring 20 points built on 16 kills when she spearheaded the score draw.

Aiza Pontillas added 15 points, Remy Palma scored 13 and Jonah Sabete and MJ Phillips added 11 and 10 points, respectively, for the Angels, who lost leading scorer Myla Pablo in the offseason but have used defense as their trump card here, emerging as a team best blocker in the conference.

On the track

As it stands, Creamline is the first to enter the semifinals with F2, PLDT, Chery Tiggo and Choco Mucho still in the hunt. Crossovers were still fighting the crowd favorite Flying Titans at press time.

The Cargo Movers have the inside track on third place, currently tied with the Angels at 5-2. Petro Gazz advanced with a superior set ratio compared to F2.

Akari bowed out in memorable fashion, so to speak, as the Chargers used an 8-3 start in the third set to avoid being swept.

But the fourth, saw the Angels back in the elements with MJ Phillips leading the way.

Akari, who had been eliminated from the semifinals before this game, dropped to a 2-5 record.
