Ara Galang added 18 points off 12 kills, five aces, and one block, while also chipping 10 excellent receptions.

Ces Molina contributed a total of 16 points, while Buding Duremdes also contributed 27 digs and 10 excellent receptions as libero Denden Lazaro was also injured.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

F2 Logistics is now on top of the standings with a four-game winning streak, while Petron has moved down with two wins and one loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cargo Movers’ head coach Ramil de Jesus applauded Mau for her contributions to the F2 Logistics, stating in Filipino, \u201cThe arrival of Kalei to our team is a big deal. We\u2019re able to defend, we have a go-to guy on the team.\u201d Prior to the match, De Jesus told the press about Mau as \u201cthe missing piece to the team,\u201d explaining, \u201cShe has a high-percentage in attacking and anytime I need a go-to-guy and a leader, she\u2019s ready to carry the team.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

With their big win against the defending champions, Mau exclaimed, \u201cIt\u2019s going to be an exciting conference, exciting year ahead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

About their opponents, Coach Ramil also added, \u201cPetron\u2019s team was not complete, so maybe Coach Shaq had to experiment because Rondina wasn\u2019t there and he can\u2019t maximize his people because we know Rondina not being there is a big deal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Petron is hoping for their players\u2019 return during their next match against the Cignal HD Spikers at the Muntinlupa Sports Center on Saturday, June 29, while F2 Logistics wants to extend their streak as they face the same team at Cadiz City on Tuesday, July 2.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
