Gonzaga then scored off an overpassed ball for a 13-10 lead, before Capital1&#x27;s Shola Alvarez went wide on a crosscourt hit to put ZUS Coffee at match point.Sydney Niegos saved a match point for Capital1 but Gonzaga would not be denied, crushing a hit off the Solar Spikers to claim the winner. The veteran finished with 14 points while rookie AC Miner top-scored for ZUS Coffee with 18 points on 13 kills and five blocks. Kate Santiago added 17 points, as the Thunderbelles also benefited from Capital1&#x27;s 30 unforced errors.Squandered in the defeat was a 23-point performance from Trisha Genesis, as well as Alvarez&#x27;s 22-point outing.
