Kailangan mas ma-improve pa namin. Sabi nga ni Maria [Perez], mas magiging mahirap talaga ‘tong next games namin even doon sa second round kasi for sure, pagaaralan at pagaaralan talaga kami ng mga teams,&quot; he continued. Starring for them was MJ Perez who had 23 points, 15 receptions, and 12 digs, Ces Molina’s 12 markers and seven receptions, as well as Jackie Acuña who had 12 points.Acuña, who will turn 24 tomorrow, took charge in the clutch and scored three straight points in the final set to put them at match point.Delos Santos hailed the performance of the National University product, especially since they were able to overcome their hiccup in the third frame after she stepped up.&quot;Lahat naman ng middle blockers namin, laging merong malaking opportunity yan pagdating sa training. Balance naman lahat ng nabibigay naming time para sa kanila,  but nakikita rin namin kasi yung malaking potential ni Jackie,&quot; he said. &quot;[Gusto ko maging] mas aggressive din siya doon sa mga galawan niya, and gusto ko rin maexpose yung talagang potential niya kasi malaki yung matutulong niya sa team&quot;Meanwhile, now that she is tasked to step up in the absence of their Alas Pilipinas duo, what Acuña wants is to remain consistent with her outings moving forward. &quot;Yung mindset ko lang palagi every day is makatulong, tapos mas tatapangan ko lang palagi,&quot; she said.&quot;Hindi basta-basta yung mga kalaban ngayon. Talagang nag se-step up lahat ng teams, kaya naghahard work ako sa training tapos sumusunod lang ako sa instruction ng coaches,&quot; Jackie furthered, while also emphasizing that what matters most is how she can maintain contributing for the blazing HD Spikers.&quot;Masaya po ako, pero hanggang today lang po dapat kasi job’s not finished. Ginawa ko lang yung best ko para makatulong sa team para di masayang din yung tiwala na binibigay ng coaches and management,&quot; said Acuña.<div style="margin-bottom:0px;line-height:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">RELATED:<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P8NL3jjrZJs?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
