By Emy Manipol

SAN JUAN, MM--RC Cola-Army announced its reentry in the Philippine Super Liga (PSL) in dominating fashion after dismantling last conference’s title holder Foton, 25-17, 25-9, 25-22, in the first game of the PSL Invitational tournament at the FilOil Flying V Arena on Thursday.

The fully-loaded Army squad marked its return from a three-conference leave by parading its offensive prowess against Foton from the opening serve until the final attack.

Former NCAA MVP Royse Tubino top-scored for Army with 11 points off ten spikes and a block while receiving ample support from the rest of the squad.

Foton was not able to check most of Army’s attacks especially in the second set where Army quickly reached 25 points.
