"Last game namin more on second six yung naglaro, medyo hindi maganda yung performance. Ngayon, pinabawi ko sila and they were able to perform better than last game namin," said Cignal head coach Dexter Clamor, referring to the sub-par performances of their second-stringers against the VNS-Nasty Griffins in their previous assignment.

"Magandang motivation ito for us and yung momentum namin going to semis medyo mataas yung morale namin. Pero pagdating sa semis back to zero lahat, yung 8-0 magiging useless kung hindi kami magpe-perform," he added.

The straight-set win was also a much-needed turnaround for Cignal, which had gone the distance in its last three matches, needing five sets against Criss Cross, D’Navigators, and the Griffins.
