The Lady Pirates, who concluded the tournament with a 2-5 record, relied on Johna Dolorito's intelligent hitting to gain an advantage over the Lady Stags, while ZJ Deposoy made a crucial contribution during the decisive moments.
"Ang aming mga expectations para sa V-League ay hindi gaanong mataas. Ngunit nagpapasalamat kami na nakilala namin ang kanilang kakayahan, lalo na sa laro na ito na nakita namin sa fifth set na kaya nilang magtuloy-tuloy," pahayag ni head coach Cromwell Garcia.
Dolorito ended with 18 points, but it was also Joan Doguna's alert and strategic play that kept the Lady Pirates afloat. Doguna also contributed 18 points through 16 successful attacks and two blocks, along with seven digs.
Lyceum spoiled Kat Santos' best performance of the season, as she scored 24 points through 20 successful attacks, leaving the Lady Stags winless at 0-6.
