Foton Pilipinas got its rhythm and crushed Rangsit University, 25-23, 25-19, 25-20, to barge into the win column of the 2016 Sealect Tuna Thailand Volleyball League on Friday at the Wi Sommai gymnasium in Sisaket Province, Thailand.
American Lindsay Stalzer scorched hot while the rest of the Tornadoes took care of the defensive end to coast to an easy win in this prestigious tourney that serves as their appetizer for the AVC Asian Women’s Club Championship from Sept. 3 to 11 at the Alonte Sports Center in Binan City.
Stalzer fired 27 hits while fellow import Ariel Usher had 14 markers, bulk of which coming in the first two sets, giving Italian coach Fabio Menta the luxury of pulling her out in the third to give valuable exposures to Cherry Rondina and EJ Laure.
Two rising stars from University of Santo Tomas, Rondina and Laure finished the job together with an all-Filipino crew of Rhea Dimaculangan, Patty Orendain, Aby Marano and Maika Ortiz, who carried the offensive chores in the deciding set with seven hits.
