She contributed significantly to the game with 10 excellent digs and 14 receptions.

Davison remains hopeful about maintaining consistency with the championship in sight. "Hopefully, we come out more consistent these next couple of games. We have two more, hopefully two more to push through, and then, you know, hopefully defending champions. I'm not going to jinx it, but hopefully, fingers crossed," she added.

Kim Dy supported with 15 points, while Majoy Baron contributed eight points. Mika Reyes and Jovie Prado added to the tally with seven and five points, respectively. On the other side, Frances Molina led the Foxies with 12 points, with Honey Royse Tubino adding 11 points.
