Air Force knocks out Global Remit, punches ticket to PNVFCL Final


LIPA CITY, BATANGAS—Go for Gold-Air Force took out Global Remit in four sets, 26-28, 25-22, 25-18, 25-19 to enter the finals of the PNVF Champions League, Friday at the Aquamarine Recreational Center here.

John Vic De Guzman continued his fine performance in the Champions League. He finished with a team-high 16 points to lead the Aguilas.

In the fourth set, it was De Guzman who put Air Force at match-point through an off-the-block hit against Joeven Dela Vega.

Lloyd Josafat then sealed the deal with an ace.

“Sabi ko sa kanila, tuloy-tuloy lang kasi nandoon naman ‘yung sistema natin. Nagkaproblema lang tayo ng bandang huli,” said Air Force coach Dante Alinsunurin on the team’s mishap in the first set.

“Pero sabi ko basta tuloy lang ang ginagawa natin. Kung ano yung iniscout natin kagabi, tuloy lang. Itaas lang onti ‘yung ginagawa natin,” he added.
