Judith Abil found redemption in her newfound chance in the PVL, leading the Cignal HD Spikers as a libero against the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the PVL Reinforced Conference.
The Cignal HD Spikers delivered a statement with a commanding straight-set win (25-18, 25-21, 25-16) over the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the 2024 PVL Reinforced Conference opener on Thursday, July 18th at the PhilSports Arena.
While MJ Perez's return and strong offensive showing were crucial, it was the defensive brilliance of free agent signing Judith Abil that solidified Cignal's victory.
It was Abil's presence at the back that truly frustrated Choco Mucho's attackers, despite the absence of celebrated libero Dawn Macandili-Catindig.
Abil, who was converted to libero, emerged as a defensive wall. Her 15 excellent digs and eight excellent receptions disrupted the Flying Titans' offensive rhythm.
Perez led the offense with a game-high 22 points, ably supported by Ces Molina (8 points) and Chin Basas (8 points).
