The Master Butchers came out with renewed vigor, showcasing a cohesive game plan to take the win over Chichi DHTSI in the Spikers’ Turf Invitational Conference.
Martelli Meats finally snapped its six-game losing streak with an emphatic 25-19, 25-20, 25-19 win over Chichi DHTSI in the Spikers’ Turf Invitational Conference at the Ynares Sports Center in Pasig on Sunday.
In a clash of winless teams, the Master Butchers came out with renewed vigor, showcasing a cohesive game plan with sharp offense and strong defensive patterns that had been missing in their previous outings.
Their well-rounded performance left no room for the Titans to mount a serious challenge.
“Masaya kami, after ilang games na naghihirap kami, nakuha din namin ang panalo,” said Renz Cruz, who led the charge with 10 points, including six attacks, two blocks and two aces, earning him Player of the Game recognition.
While the win does not affect the semifinal race for Martelli Meats, who were already eliminated with an 0-6 record, it was a much-needed morale boost.
The team now hopes to build on this success and embrace the role of spoilers in their remaining match against the Navy Sea Lions on Nov. 27.
For Chichi DHTSI, it was another frustrating outing as the Titans absorbed their eighth consecutive loss. Jonathan Sorio once again led the Titans with 14 points from 10 attacks, three blocks, and an ace. Christian Alicante added 11 markers.
The Titans will wrap up their campaign, also on Nov. 27, against tournament favorites Criss Cross King Crunchers, hoping to salvage some pride in their final match.
