But behind a sensational performance from Brooke Van Sickle, they had enough firepower for a 22-25, 25-12, 25-18, 27-29, 15-12  triumph in Game 1 of their battle for bronze.</p><p>Van Sickle, playing in her first conference in the PVL, was unstoppable as she fired a career-best 36 points built on 31 kills, four blocks, and a service ace. She added 10 excellent receptions to her stat line. </p><p>Jonah Sabete added 21 points, while MJ Phillips scored five of her 15 points on kill blocks. The Gazz Angels&#x27; net defense made a huge difference in the win, as they had 16 blocks compared to Chery Tiggo&#x27;s six, along with a 69-57 advantage in kills. </p><p>&quot;I feel that towards the end, when it got into crunch time where we&#x27;re a little stressed, we&#x27;re passing good. Our passing kind of stabilized and I feel like we&#x27;re picking up a lot of balls [in] defensive plays. So yeah, good job to my team, super proud,&quot; Van Sickle said after the game.</p><p>The result was a much-needed boost for the Gazz Angels, who ended the semifinals with back-to-back losses to the Creamline Cool Smashers and the Choco Mucho Flying Titans.</p><p>After surging ahead, 2-1, the Gazz Angels looked poised to wrap up the match in four sets as they took an 18-14 lead in the fourth. But the Crossovers worked their way back thanks to Eya Laure, while also benefiting from the Gazz Angels&#x27; unforced errors. Petro Gazz reached match point, 24-23, off a Van Sickle attack, but back-to-back hits by Laure shifted the advantage to Chery Tiggo.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/171525420016520240509-pvl-cherry-petrogazz-MD-9360.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Petro Gazz&#x27;s Brooke Van Sickle attacks the defense of Chery Tiggo in their bronze medal game of the 2024 PVL All-Filipino Conference, May 9, 2024 at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Crossovers got 30 free points from Petro Gazz&#x27;s errors, but also gave up 10 aces to the Gazz Angels while their own offense sputtered.</p><p>With her team on the cusp of the bronze medal, Van Sickle warns that they cannot expect Chery Tiggo to go down easily come Sunday&#x27;s Game 2.</p><p>&quot;I mean, Chery Tiggo, they&#x27;re a great team, and they&#x27;re definitely gonna come back fighting for sure.
