Naka-isang beses palang siya na back-to-back na hard training so ini-incorporate palang namin siya onti-onti pero nasubukan ng maaga-aga pero happy kami na paunti-onti na siya nakakabalik saka dadahan-dahanin namin i-incorporate siya ulit,&quot; he said.</p><p>The High Speed Hitters somehow celebrated Dy&#x27;s return by fending off a comeback attempt by their sisters from another team, the HD Spikers, during Set 4, where they led by as much as 10, 16-10.</p><p>The Cignal side, bannered by the offensive showings of Vanie Gandler and Ishie Lalongisip midway the frame, even came within one at 22-21 but the High Speed Hitters eventually found the rhythm once more to finish the match off kills from Majoy Baron and star spiker Savi Davison.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/volleyball/2025/1/28/it-hasnt-been-easy-kkd-turns-emotional-as-she-reflects-on-a-hard-year-2208">READ: &#x27;It hasn&#x27;t been easy&#x27;: KKD turns emotional as she reflects on a &#x27;hard year&#x27;</a></div><p>Davison got plenty of help this time, highlighted by Erika Santos who dropped 15 points, while Baron breached twin-digit scoring with 10. The Fil-Canadian spiker, the all-around player she is, also made her presence felt at the defense, listing 12 excellent digs and 10 excellent receptions.</p><p>Angge Alcantara steered the PLDT firepower with 16 excellent sets. The High Speed Hitters now see themselves tied with Chery Tiggo and Choco Mucho, their last tormentor last game, at 5-3 win-loss record.</p><p>Meanwhile, Gandler&#x27;s 22-point outburst was for a losing cause, as the HD Spikers absorbed their second defeat in seven matches.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABToSLcj32fsrzS2&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script>
