Foton claims solo lead, dominates Victoria Sports-UST

Defending champion Foton ripped apart a young Victoria Sports-University of Sto. Tomas side, 25-8, 25-22, 25-16, to close its elimination round campaign in the 2017 Philippine Superliga Grand Prix at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan on Tuesday.

Fresh from a record-setting 41-point production in a five-set win against F2 Logistics, Serbian sensation Sara Klisura once again led the Tornadoes to victory for a 7-1 win-loss slate at solo top spot.

In the quarterfinals, the top seed will take on the eighth seed while the second seed will clash with the seventh seed; the third seed will face the sixth seed; and the fourth seed will collide with the fifth seed.
