Lacsina, Baron anchor Cargo Movers victory against Chameleons.

F2 LOGISTICS disposed of Nxled, 25-20, 25-14, 25-16, to join a crowded group at fourth place in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference eliminations at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City on Tuesday.

With Ivy Lacsina on the firing end, the Cargo Movers crushed the Chameleons on attacks, 42-27, and with the former National University standout also at the defensive helm, F2 Logistics thwarted several Nxled assaults, leading to a glaring 12-1 difference in blocks.

'I've been working extra hard in defense. I just wanted to give what the team needs, so I always play all-out,' said Lacsina, after claiming the game's top honors following a 19-point effort she spiked with four kill blocks.

Majoy Baron also came away with four blocks on her way to a 10-point output as she and Lacsina virtually formed a wall that the Nxled hitters found too tough to pierce, particularly in the third set, enabling the Cargo Movers to rally from three-point deficits and complete the straight-set romp in one-hour and 22 minutes.

F2 Logistics also pounced on Nxled's shaky service reception by scoring seven aces while giving up two of their own.

But while they were able to cut their unforced errors by six after yielding 26 in their five-set shock loss to the Akari Chargers last week, the Cargo Movers could only draw 14 points from the Chameleons' miscues.

'We still have a lot of things to work on and we cannot be complacent,' said F2 Logistics coach Regine Diego, one of the few coaches in the league blessed with a star-studded crew, including a band of rising stars. 'This win is a big boost but we have to work more.'

Jolina dela Cruz fired 11 points and posted 11 excellent receptions, Aby Marano added seven markers, mostly on her signature running attacks, while Ara Galang also finished with seven points for the Cargo Movers, who will next play the Galeries Tower Highrisers in another...
