May mga jitters din, pero nakuha pa rin. Tinrabaho namin tong first game na ‘to,” she added.Despite this statement win over the Season 86 finalists, however, Salak emphasized that there is still a long way to go before the Lady Tams can say that they have shown continuous growth.“Kailangan namin ibalik yung championship spirit,” she emphasized. “Mahirap yung pinagdaanan nitong past two years, pero nag gain pa rin kami.”On the other hand, the undermanned Tigresses finished with 13 points, seven digs, and five receptions, while providing her help were Margaret Altea and Reg Jurado who both scored 10.<div>RELATED VIDEO: <script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABUYE4wG3CUrmYYp&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div>
