F2 Logistics shook off the stigma of an unsettling defeat the first time out with a big bounce-back win on a potent blend of power and blocking, disposing of Nxled, 25-20, 25-14, 25-16, and joining a crowded group at fourth in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference eliminations yesterday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
With Ivy Lacsina on the firing end, the Cargo Movers crushed the Chameleons on attacks, 42-27, while leading F2 Logistics in thwarting a number of Nxled assaults, leading to a glaring 12-1 difference in blocks.
“I’ve been working extra hard in defense. I just wanted to give what the team needs, so I always play all-out,” said Lacsina, after claiming the game’s top honors following a 19-point effort she spiked with four kill blocks.
Majoy Baron also came away with four blocks on her way to a 10-point output as she and Lacsina virtually formed a wall that the Nxled hitters found too tough to pierce, particularly in the third set, enabling the Cargo Movers to rally from three-point deficits and complete the straight-set romp in one-hour and 22 minutes.
F2 Logistics likewise pounced on Nxled’s shaky service reception, scoring seven aces while giving up two of their own.
But while they were able to cut their unforced errors by six after yielding 26 in their five-set shock loss to the Akari Chargers last week, the Cargo Movers could only draw 14 points from the Chameleons’ miscues.
