MANILA—F2 Logistics
share the early lead after posting a 25-16, 25-19, 25-19 win over Cignal HD in the last
game of Tuesday action of the 2018 Philipiine Superliga Philippine Cup at the
FilOil Flying V Cantre in San Juan City.
But the Ramil De Jesus-mentored squad
had to withstand Cignal’s tenacious net defense with solid attacking coming
from Cha Crtuz-Behag, Majoy Baron, and Kim Dy as it joined Smart-PLDT and
defending champion Petron as opening-day winners.
With Cignal threatening in the third
set with a 17-15 lead, the Cargo Movers fired a 7-0 blast to snatch the lead
for good, 22-17.
Cruz-Behag sealed the deal with a block
on a Mylene Paat attack.
Skipper Cruz-Behag scored 12 points,
while Baron and Dy finished with 11 apiece for year’s runner-up Cargo Movers.
Kim Fajardo weaved her magic in the
offense with 35 excellent sets as F2 also took advantage of Cignal HD’s 25
errors while committing just 12 all game.
Rachel Ann Daquis and Paat each scored
12 for Cignal, which welcomed come-backing Honey Royce Tubino.
