The powerhouse HD Spikers were never threatened from there although the D&#x27;Navigators kept it close in brief stretches in the next two frames.In the other semis game on Friday, AMC-Cotabato remained in finals contention via a tight straight sets win against Imus-Ivy Tuason Photography, 25-19, 28-26, 25-23.The Cotabato Spikers were composed down the stretch in the third set, coming back from a 21-23 deficit after AJAA Spiker Hero Austria went crosscourt. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/02/03/23/spikers-turf-cignal-topples-imus-for-share-of-lead">Spikers Turf: Cignal topples Imus for share of lead</a></li></ul>Jau Umandal came through with a through-the-block kill before Vince Mangulabnan knotted the game with a service ace. Back-to-back errors by Imus ended the game. &quot;Mindset lang namin hindi kami pwedeng matalo kumbaga do or die eh. Ginawa lang namin yung best namin,&quot; said Umandal.
