THE formidable multiple-time champions RC Cola-Army Lady Troopers cruised to the top of the standings after they took care of the F2 Logistics in straight sets, 25-22, 25-12, 25-19, in the Philippine Superliga Invitational Conference at Malolos Sports and Convention Center in Malolos, Bulacan yesterday.
Rachel Anne Daquis finished with 17 points for the Lady Troopers, who now hold a 2-0 win-loss (win-loss) card in this prestigious inter-club tournament. Former three-time champion Army also got an extra boost from Honey Royse Tubino and skipper Jovelyn Gonzaga, who added 13 and 11 markers, respectively.
Although the Lady Troopers showed their weakness at the net with only four blocks against 10 of the Cargo Movers, Daquis and Gonzaga dominated offensively as they led the attack department (51-27).
Adamson alum Pau Soriano and former Petron star Aby Marano each had nine points for F2 Logistics while Cebuana spiker Danika Gendrauli and Therese Veronas added seven markers apiece. The Cargo Movers evened their card (1-1) after an easy win over New San Jose Builders, 25-23, 25-10, 25-4, on Thursday.
