V-League: Army a win away from third place after sweeping Air Force

The Philippine Army had just enough in their arsenal to edge the Philippine Air Force in three sets, beating their Armed Forces rivals 26-24 29-27 25-1 on Tuesday at the FilOil Flying V Arena, in the best-of-three battle for third place series of the Shakey's V-League Season 10 Open Conference.

Army, which took finalists Smart-Maynilad to a game three in the semifinals, had just enough to pull off a three-set sweep, though each set was tightly-contested.

Jovelyn Gonzaga led the way for Army with 15 points, including a quarter of her side's 40 spikes. Mary Jean Balse and Rachel Anne Daquis added 11 and 10 markers, respectively.

Army also benefitted from a 9-4 edge in points off blocks, and an 11-5 margin in service aces.

Joy Cases managed a game-high 19 points for Air Force, all but two coming off spikes. Iari Yongco scored 13, while Judy Ann Caballejo totaled 11.  - AMD, GMA News
