PLDT sinks Navy, nails semis seat

PLDT Home Ultera feasted on Navy’s token net defense and cruised to a 25-14, 25-22, 25-14 romp to clinch the first semifinal berth while Perpetual Help stayed in the semis hunt with a victory over Baguio in the Shakey’s V-League Season 12-Open Conference at The Arena in San Juan City yesterday.

The Ultra Fast Spikers, who have toppled some of the league’s toughest teams, proved too strong for the Lady Sailors, whom they clobbered with 37 attacks and frustrated with eight blocks with 10 aces to boot to annex the 64-minute victory, their fifth straight in the season-opening conference of the league sponsored by Shakey’s.

So poor was the Lady Sailors net defense that they failed to score even a single block out of 28 tries.

Jaja Santiago, the league’s top blocker, topscored for PLDT with 11 hits, including three blocks, as regular hitters Alyssa Valdez, Sue Roces and Laurence Ann Latigay slowed down with eight points apiece while playing on limited minutes.

Gretchel Soltones, the other top PLDT spiker, chipped in six points in a one-set stint as coach Roger Gorayeb tried out new combinations as they go for a sweep of the elims against Meralco and Fourbees-Perpetual on Sunday and Tuesday, respectively.
