Revenge or Repeat? Petron vs Shopinas in Philippine Superliga AFC 2015 Finals


Petron Blaze Spikers and Shopinas.com Lady Clickers tallied wins at Cuneta Astrodome to book a finals showdown in the Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Conference 2015.

The Blaze Spikers displayed a teaser of its championship form as it clobbered the Philips Gold Lady Slammers in straight sets; 25-14, 25-23, 25-18. It only took 1 hour and 21 minutes for the Blaze Spikers to finish the Lady Slammers. Aby Marano led the assault with 9 attacks, 2 blocks and 2 service aces; followed by Daquis (12 points), Morada (11 points) and Manabat (8 points).

Meanwhile, the Shopinas.com Lady Clickers flirted with disaster after escaping a very tight five-setter match against the Foton Tornadoes; 22-25, 25-23, 25-19, 21-25, 17-15. Stephanie Mercado led the team with 24 points, followed by Cruz (21 points) and Dy (12 points).

Petron and Shopinas will face each other in Game 1, this coming May 11, after a week of break to give way for the country's hosting of Asian U23 Women's Championship.

Do you think the Ramil de Jesus - led team will have a revenge after bowing to Petron on the last conference? Or will Petron Blaze Spikers have a repeat? Revenge or repeat?
