MANILA, Philippines — Choco Mucho’s local players continued to step up in the absence of import Marlee Smith, securing a hard-fought victory over Cignal in the PVL Reinforced Conference on Monday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Flying Titans dropped the first set 23-25 but bounced back to take the next three sets, 25-19, 25-16, and 27-25, demonstrating resilience and teamwork throughout the match.
Smith missed another opportunity to make her debut as the team is still processing her paperwork. Despite her absence, the all-Filipino lineup, led by standout player Maddie Madayag, showed determination and skill to carry the team to victory.
