Noong unang tatlong set, parang &#x27;yun nga, hindi maayos &#x27;yung galaw namin, parang malamya. Pero lumabas naman sa fourth set,&quot; said Chery Tiggo ace Cess Robles during the postgame interview.</p><p>There were a lot of heroes for the Chery Tiggo side, bannered by Robles, who dropped a game-high 21 points built on 20 attacks and an ace to go with 11 excellent receptions and nine excellent digs, captain Aby Marano added a quiet 15-point output, while Pauline Gaston, who was there to help the team snatch fourth set, put up a total of 14 markers.</p><p>In Set 4, the Crossovers rallied to a 9-2 run from the 16-14 count, headlined by Gaston&#x27;s multiple attack points to tie at two sets apiece.</p><p>&quot;Ang tumatak kasi sa isip ko is &#x27;yung sinabi ni Coach Norman last game: &#x27;Ang puntos ng isa, puntos ng lahat. Tapos ang error ng isa, error ng lahat.&#x27; So in relation to what Princess said, it was really our whole team effort,&quot; Gaston said.</p><p>Chery Tiggo rallied early in the decider, unleashing a 5-1 start and fending off all efforts of the error-burdened Highrisers, who lost poise in order to complete the upset as Robles smashed back-to-back kills in the endgame to clinch the five-set triumph.</p><p>&quot;Kanina, before mag-start, after nung warm-up sa net, &#x27;yun agad usapan namin na this is the last game before this holiday season. So dapat talaga full blast ang performance namin,&quot; said Miguel.</p><p>Galeries&#x27; France Ronquillo flexed her A-game, collecting a total of 18 points, while Jewel Encarnacion added 16 to the losing cause.</p><div><a class="fr-green" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/11/14/pvl-choco-mucho-flexes-might-at-the-net-to-escape-galeries-1910"><strong>READ: PVL: Choco Mucho flexes might at the net to escape Galeries</strong></a></div><p>Meanwhile, it was a Robles-Ronquillo duel during the finishing moments of the opener, as the two exchanged clutch points via attacks to keep their respective teams alive.</p><p>Ronquillo smashed an off-the-block hit to give Galeries its first set point at 28-27, but a sweet 3-0 finish from the Chery Tiggo side, courtesy of Robles&#x27; consecutive hits and an Ysa Jimenez attack error conceded Set 1 to the Crossovers.</p><p>A 6-0 fiery start in the succeeding chapter from Highrisers allowed them to pull away, eventually capturing the frame to tie at one set apiece.</p><p>After the Crossovers eked out a 10-5 cushion in Set 3, the Highrisers suddenly flipped the switch, uncorking a 9-0 run to overtake Miguel&#x27;s cogs.</p><p>Chery Tiggo stayed in striking distance or within three to four points in the said frame, but the Highrisers finally clinched Set 3 as Ronquillo--who was by then already spectacular for Galeries--put up a personal three-point run, all on attacks, to secure a Galeries 2-1 set lead.</p><p>Both teams will see action on January 21, as Galeries battles Cignal first, while Chery Tiggo faces Petro Gazz at the same Metro Manila venue.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong> <script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABRwx5irYcHTV13m&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div>
