Nung natalo kami, sabi ko back to zero tayo. Kailangan natin bakbakin ulit sa ensayo so nagfocus kami sa training at buti maganda naman ang ipinakita ngayon,” said Alpha Insurance head coach Mike Santos after the 74-minute battle.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2026/3/13/spikers-turf-aep-fends-off-vns-to-gain-share-of-3rd-1611">READ: Spikers&#x27; Turf: AEP fends off VNS to gain share of 3rd </a></div>Jau Umandal, JM Apolinario, and Wesley Cajolo combined for six unanswered points to propel the Protectors to their biggest lead, 19-9, in the third set.However, the Event Masters refused to give up rallied behind Vincent Ramos, Kenneth Daynata, Louise Bartolome and Christian Olaes, threatening at 19-23 on a 10-4 counter run.But Bonjomar Castel made a service error, halting 3B’s momentum and paving the way for Cajolo to drill a sharp kill from the pipe for the bounce-back win.JM Ronquillo led the balanced attack of Alpha Insurance, which bowed to Criss Cross last Wednesday, with 12 points, including a game-high six blocks with five attacks and an ace.Edward Camposano contributed nine points and 14-of-19 excellent receptions while skipper Jeff Abuniawan scored seven points as head coach Santos utilized all his 14 players.Alpha Insurance, which also routed 3B in three in the first round, will have a much-needed six-day break before returning to action against Savouge Aesthetics next Friday.Ramos paced the Event Masters with 10 points and five digs while Carl Berdal added nine points and 12 excellent receptions.3B will try to revive its semis hopes against Savouge on Wednesday.
