Marciano, Lady Patrolers Edge FEU For First Win

PNP Lady Patrolers leaned on the heroics of Janine Marciano to turn back Far Eastern University, 25-20, 25-14, 20-25, 25-19, and keep its quarterfinal hopes alive in the Shakey’s V-League Open Conference at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

Marciano tallied 21 hits, including a smash at match point, as the Lady Patrollers bucked a lethargic third set to finally notch their first victory in six outings.

Playing her finest game since joining PNP, Thai import Patcharee Sangmuang came away with 23 points and seven digs, while Frances Molina finished with 14 hits as the Lady Patrollers tied idle Navy at the No. 6 spot.

The loss snuffed out the Lady Tamaraws’ hopes of reaching the quarterfinals after they suffered their sixth straight loss.

With the victory, PNP made its duel with Navy on Friday a virtual knockout encounter for the last quarterfinals berth.
