The Flying Titans joined F2 Logistics and Cignal as early leaders in Pool B with 1-0 records, while dropping the Foxies to 0-2.
“It’s a good game for our team because we saw our plans come to fruition, especially in our service-receive. Our percentage increased, and it dictated the tempo for us in every set,” said Choco Mucho head coach Dante Alinsunurin.
After dominating the first set, Choco Mucho showed no mercy in the second frame, scoring 13 unanswered points and cruising to another blowout, 25-7.
The Flying Titans’ onslaught continued in the third period, building a 14-5 advantage with contributions from everyone to finish off the Foxies in straight sets.
