Defending champion Chery Tiggo finally found its old groove back by sweeping Black Mamba Army, 25-22, 25-17, 25-19, in the Premier Volleyball Conference Open Conference at the Paco Arena in Manila Tuesday night.

The Crossovers drew strength from Mylene Paat, who erupted for 20 points built on 14 kills, four blocks and two aces to nail their first win in three outings.

Dindin Manabat also shone for Chery Tiggo by unloading 17 points including 14 attacks, while Jasmine Nabor converted 24 of the team’s 34 excellent sets.

The Crossovers needed an hour and 20 minutes in disposing of the Army Troopers, who couldn’t deliver the needed plays as the team only managed 12 excellent sets.

Royse Tubino scored 12 points for Black Mamba, but it was still not enough as they skidded to their third straight defeat.
