Petro Gazz’s Cebuana star Grethcel Soltones shared how excited she was to face her former team PLDT in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference on Tuesday night.
“Actually excited ako nung nalaman kong PLDT pala yung next na makakalaban namin,” said Soltones right after her team vanquished PLDT in four sets, 25-12, 20-25, 25-21, 25-20.
Playing against her longtime coach, Roger Gorayeb, Soltones showed once again why she is considered one of the country’s top players as she ended up with 10 points to go with 15 excellent digs and 14 excellent receptions. More importantly, the win pushed Petro Gazz’s record to 3-1 and into a tie with Chery Tiggo.
The native of Catmon in Cebu added that she and the rest of the team are still working on their cohesion. Soltones is part of a loaded Angels’ roster that includes Myla Pablo, Ces Molina and Ria Meneses.
“Kailangan naming matrabaho yung connection namin sa bawat isa. And as a player, as an individual, kung saan ka babawi, especially if wala kang laro now. Kasi hindi naman all the time atake so sa ibang aspect,” said Soltones. “Dapat babawi ka. So in short kailangan mong maka-adjust agad kapag wala kang laro.” (JNP)
