Pons Considers Semis After Hard-Won Win
Pons was pleased with the team's victory and appreciated the challenges they faced against Petro Gazz. First, we're glad we survived today's game. It was tough fighting Petro Gazz veterans in a do-or-die situation. We said it was a do-or-die game, and we wouldn't die. Erica loves playing volleyball in the Philippines, so we wanted to continue this conference. Of course, work remains. We return to work tomorrow after one day of preparation before the semifinals, Pons said in the post-game press conference.
