IT boiled down to the last serve—and after a brief review of the challenge—Kurashiki Ablaze whooped it up as gold confetti rained down the court, officially claiming the hotly-disputed Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference crown via a 19-25, 25-23, 25-19, 20-25, 15-13 decision over Creamline at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City on Sunday night.
The Cool Smashers forced the fifth set with a big finish in the fourth and looked headed to getting back at the Japanese, who beat them, 25-20, 25-21, 18-25, 25-14, in a non-bearing match closing out the semis phase Friday and staying on course of their grand slam drive. Setter and skipper Kyoka Ohshima, who normed 23 points in the semis, took the Finals MVP trophy on a 19-excellent set performance while finishing with five points, putting to naught counterpart Jia de Guzman’s 33-excellent set effort.
Tots Carlos nearly neutralized Asaka’s production with 27 points while Ced Domingo and Jema Galanza came up with 20 and 18 points, respectively, and Valdez settled for six points in three sets.
