DUMAGUETE CITY, Philippines — Defending champion National Capital Region streaked to its 3rd straight win, dominating Davao Region, 25-18, 25-11, to top Bracket A with a 3-0 card.

Ana Gopico top scored with 7 points while Desiree Cheng rebounded from a subpar output yesterday to finish with 6 points. 

Davao kept themselves in the game behind Alyssa Alterado and Jela Pena, who both scored 10 points, but the Region XI bets could not take advantage of their duo’s solid performance and committed 20 errors to fall to 2-1.

In Bracket C, CALABARZON swept the opposition by silencing Central Visayas, 25-13, 25-18, in front of a jampacked afternoon crowd at the Foundation University Gym.

Janel Maraguinot’s silenced the home team with her well-placed serves, making it hard for Central Visayas to jumpstart their offense.

An onslaught by Margarette Galanza further sent Region VII down as the CALABARZON spiker delivered 15 points while also getting 10 markers from junior Audrey Paran.

In an injury-marred game, 2012 runner-up Western Visayas won via forfeiture, 25-9, 25-3, after SOCCSKSARGEN decided to forfeit the match after Bhetaney Soliva suffered a gruesome injury and had to be carried off-court. – Rappler.com
