Pinaghandaan naman namin sa training, kaso nga lang napakarami pa rin naming errors,&quot; added Santos, pointing out his squad&#x27;s 22 errors.Ronquillo, the lone double-digit scorer in the win, erupted for 20 points on 18-of-27 attacks and two service aces, to go along with five excellent digs to power Alpha Insurance to victory.Jau Umandal, who sat out the third set, and Edward Camposano tallied nine markers and eight excellent receptions each, while Reymond Sabanal contributed seven markers in their second win of the tournament.The Protectors will try to close their first round campaign with another victory as they take on the VNS Always Bright Laticrete Griffins on Sunday, 3 p.m. at the same venue.Meanwhile, 3B slipped to 1-2 following its five-set win over VNS last Sunday.Carl Berdal, who was coming off a 29-point explosion against the Griffins, was held to just 10 points along with 12 excellent receptions, while Encina and Olaes added eight and seven points, respectively, for the Event Masters.Kenneth Daynata, meanwhile, finished with just six points after a 20-point outing in their previous match.3B seeks a bounce back win against AEP-Cabstars, also on Sunday at 1 p.m.
