Kahit na lumamang sila, kaya naming humabol. And sobrang thankful lang din kasi grabe din talaga yung effort ng bawat isa. Kasi gusto din talaga ng bawat isa na maipanalo yung game,&quot; said Pons.Peaking at the right time, Pons helped steer the Cool Smashers to crucial victories when it mattered most, including a knockout Play-In game against Akari last Tuesday, where she delivered 13 points and 17 digs to secure a crucial 25-23, 25-20, 16-25, 25-16 victory.The heroics displayed by the 33rd Southeast Asian Games beach volleyball gold medalist earned her the nod as the PVL Press Corps Player of the Week presented by Pilipinas Live.&quot;Coming into the semifinals, na-remind kami ni coach na lahat ng mga past games namin, tapos na &#x27;yun eh. 0-0 ulit. So, &#x27;yun, parang sobrang prinepare din talaga namin,&quot; said Pons, who missed the end of the preliminary round due to a minor injury.&quot;Sobrang grateful [din kami] na lumabas yung mga pinag-ensayuhan namin, kahit medyo on and off.&quot;Pons was the unanimous choice for the award, as decided by print and online sportswriters covering the beat, edging out teammate Alyssa Valdez, Cignal&#x27;s Erika Santos and Vanie Gandler, and Farm Fresh&#x27;s Trisha Tubu.The Cool Smashers will go for a finals-clinching second win against the Cignal Super Spikers on Tuesday at the same venue in Pasay City.
