So gano&#x27;n pa rin, trabaho pa rin kami, bukas may game pa, mahirap din &#x27;yon,&quot; expressed coach Jerry Yee after the game.Arroyo led the winning efforts with 23 points on 22 attacks and one service ace, while Miner continued her impressive first-year run with 16 points. Setter Clo Mondonedo steered the Zus Coffee offensive with 30 excellent sets, and libero Alyssa Eroa held the fort for the defense with 21 digs.Galanza paced the other side with 21 points on 16 attacks, three blocks, and two aces to go with 13 digs, as Valdez performed an all-around decent showing of 16 points and 21 receptions.Zus Coffee returns to action on Sunday against Cignal, while Creamline hopes to halt its slide and bounce back against Chery Tiggo.
