Sobrang naka-focus talaga kami sa lahat ng instructions ni coach Tai [Bundit],&quot; he added.Jude Garcia put together 18 points on 13 kills, four aces and a block, while Marasigan added 12 points and four excellent digs, and Gian Glorioso anchored the defense with six kill blocks and nine points overall.Nico Almendras and Rex Intal also chipped in six markers each, with Almendras contributing 11 excellent receptions.Ish Polvorosa orchestrated the offense with 16 excellent sets, propelling Criss Cross to its seventh straight win and a 1-0 start in the semifinals of the Invitational Conference.After displaying their composure in the closing stretch of Sets 1 and 2, the King Crunchers left no doubt in the third set where they surged to a 15-5 start and never allowed the Ultras to gain their rhythm. They now aim to continue their streak against rival Cignal on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. at the same venue.Meanwhile, the Ultras, who ended the eliminations with back-to-back losses to Criss Cross and Cignal, extended their skid to three games.Dryx Saavedra was their lone bright spot, scoring 15 points, all on attacks, while Mikko Espartero contributed nine markers.FEU hopes to bounce back and avoid falling to 0-2 when it faces the HD Spikers on Friday at 4:00 p.m., also at the FilOil EcoOil Centre.
