Cignal hardly broke a sweat in disposing of BaliPure, 25-14, 25-9, 25-14, Monday to book a semifinal ticket in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference at The Arena in San Juan City.
Despite enjoying a twice-to-beat quarterfinal advantage, the HD Spikers did not waste time in dominating the Water Defenders with their powerful smashes and solid blocks
Ces Molina spearheaded the assault by firing 12 points built on 11 attacks and one block.
Roselyn Doria also stepped up for the HD Spikers with 11 points, even as Ria Meneses and Rachel Daquis combined for 16 points.
So lackluster were the Water Defenders that they only managed 17 kills and two blocks compared to the HD Spikers’ 40 attacks and nine blocks.
None from BaliPure also finished with more than six points with Janine Marciano managing only five points.
The victory set up Cignal a semis meeting with the winner between Petro Gazz and F2 Logistics.
It also extended their winning streak to five matches after a four-match sweep of Pool A in the group stage.
