Her exit thrust Adorador into a bigger role for Chery Tiggo, and the former University of the East standout showed that she is ready for the moment. </p><p>In their first game of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday, Adorador led the Crossovers with 16 points. She provided some crucial hits in their 27-25, 25-19, 25-22 sweep of the Cignal HD Spikers that gave Chery Tiggo a triumphant start in the new season.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/02/07/23/pvl-chery-tiggo-downs-cignal-hd-in-straight-sets">READ: Chery Tiggo downs Cignal HD in straight sets</a></li></ul><p>&quot;Ginawa lang namin &#x27;yung pwestuhan namin, like libero si Buding [Duremdes], talagang ginagawa niya &#x27;yung part niya. &#x27;Yung mga setter namin binubuhay kaming mga spikers and &#x27;yung mga blockers.
