And the Filipino-Nigerian delivered a stinging quick hit in an open spot that finished off the Cotabato Spikers, capping the HD Spikers’ unbeaten run since they swept Santa Rosa to kick off their campaign last January 27. The heavy-hitting Espejo finished with 26 points, including 23 kills, while Miguel came away with 16 points and JP Bugaoan and skipper Ysay Marasigan backed them up with 15 and 12 points, respectively. The Cotabato Spikers showed guts and a big fighting heart after losing Umandal to injury late in the fourth set with Madzlan Gampong coming up with a cluster of hits to overcome a 19-21 deficit without their top hitter and drag the HD Spikers to 16 deadlocks.
Espejo followed up with back-to-back hits and the HD Spikers took the next two points on their rivals’ attack errors then Miguel produced an ace that put the outcome beyond doubt, 13-5.
