Petro Gazz surged back into quarterfinals contention in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference, overcoming Creamline in a nail-biting five-set match, 25-23, 25-19, 20-25, 23-25, 15-12, at the Philsports Arena on Tuesday night, Aug. 13.
In a fifth set marked by momentum swings, three lead changes and seven deadlocks, the Angels narrowly avoided a devastating loss, bolstered by the late-game heroics of Wilma Salas and Brooke Van Sickle, along with the tenacious efforts of Petro Gazz’s local players.
Salas was the star of the match, delivering a staggering 34 points, including three consecutive points to seal the victory over the Cool Smashers. Her crucial sideout at 11-12, followed by a powerful hit against Bernadeth Pons and a decisive spike to counter Erica Staunton’s assault, proved too much for Creamline to overcome.
Petro Gazz capitalized on the momentum from its recent victory over Choco Mucho, taking the first two sets in dominant fashion. However, Creamline mounted a fierce comeback, led by Staunton, Pons and Michele Gumabao, forcing a grueling fifth set. Van Sickle provided strong support to Salas, contributing 24 points, while Aiza Pontillas added eight markers. Ethan Arce and Remy Palma chipped in with five points each, showcasing a balanced offensive effort from the Angels.
