Pocari Sweat Lady Warriors eye PVL dynasty
MANILA, Philippines – Despite going through the hard way to claim its third straight championship, Pocari Sweat is looking for a longer reign in the country’s premier women’s volleyball league.
With the next Premier Volleyball League conference, the Open, just a couple of weeks away, the Lady Warriors are keeping their champion roster intact while mulling to add two or more hitters to take over the spots of Michelle Strizak and Krystal Rivers.
But like in their first three title conquests, coach Rommel Abella said they’re taking it one game at a time.
“Our mindset has been taking it one game at a time – go to the elims, figure out what we can do, how we can advance. It’s a step-by-step process,” said Abella. “But for now, we’ll let the players rest first, then go back into training.”
Flaunting their edge in experience, the Lady Warriors hurdled their toughest challenge in nailing a third crown in as many tries, downing the BaliPure Water Defenders in four in their sudden death for the Reinforced Conference of the Premier Volleyball League late Thursday.
“I told the girls that our edge over BaliPure is our experience. This will get us over the hump since skills-wise, we’re just the same,” said Abella after his wards bucked a shaky opening set stint to fashion out a convincing 20-25, 25-17, 25-17, 25-19 victory.
