MANILA, Philippines – Marck Espejo returned to action with 19 points to keep Cignal unbeaten in four games after a 26-24, 25-21, 25-17 win over PGJC-Navy in the 2023 Turf Spikers Open Conference on Wednesday at the Paco Arena. .

Espejo, who sat out the previous match against Air Force due to load management, barely missed a beat as she had 16 kills and three aces on top of six digs.

Espejo and the HD Spikers claimed their fourth straight win in as many games to share the league lead with the inactive D’Navigators Iloilo.

However, Cignal coach Dexter Clamor was not happy with his fourth win after a tight first set against a Navy team, which missed Jude Garcia with a left ankle injury.

“During the first set, I wasn’t impressed with how we won the set. I wasn’t sure about her performance,” Clamor said in Filipino.

“They depended on the game in Navy even though our opponent was lacking. Our team was satisfied during the first set. I don’t like the mindset of our players.

Besides Espejo, Wendel Miguel also stepped up for Cignal with 13 points, while JP Bugaoan added 10 points.

Navy dropped to a 1-3 record with Christian Marcelino leading the way with 15 points. Greg Dolor had 14 markers.
