JJ Macam and Al-Bukharie Sali provided steady support with 18 and 12 points, respectively, while Dux Yambao orchestrated the offense with 20 excellent sets and added eight points of his own. Edriel Alabar also shone on the defensive end, tallying 19 receptions and 11 digs. Despite the win, head coach Odjie Mamon was quick to emphasize the need for consistency and discipline as the Golden Spikers continue their semis chase. "Happy, but we still need to do a lot of consistency training because there are lots of errors. In the first three sets alone, I think we had 31 errors," said Mamon. "They know what’s at stake – if we win, we advance; if we lose, we face the consequences. Our goal is to reach the semifinals, so we need more wins." UST-Gameville now turns its focus to league-leading Criss Cross on Friday at 1 p.m. at the same venue, where another win could formally seal their semis berth. Meanwhile, Cignal, which also fell to Criss Cross last Nov. 2, slipped to 4-2, tying Savouge Aesthetics for third.
