MANILA, Philippines -- The PetroGazz Angels put on another strong performance, overpowering the error-prone BaliPure Water Defenders to stay undefeated in the 2019 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Reinforced Conference on Wednesday at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan.

The Angels cruised to a 25-19, 25-12, 25-15 triumph, improving to 4-0 in the tournament. PetroGazz has yet to drop a set so far in the competition.

"Kumbaga one game at a time pa rin. Since fourth game pa lang naman 'to, tapos may isa pang game pa kami sa first round. Sabi nga, the more na nananalo, the more na pumupukpok," said PetroGazz head coach Arnold Laniog after the game.

Imports Wilma Salas and Janisa Johnson each scored 12 points, while Jeanette Panaga added 11 markers for the Angels, who uncorked 39 kills in the game on top of 7 blocks. Jonah Sabete came off the bench to provide an additional scoring punch, with 8 points.

The Water Defenders stayed close to the Angels in the first set, trailing just 16-13 after the second technical timeout. But PetroGazz pulled away, thanks to their net defense along with BaliPure's unforced errors. It was a BaliPure miscue that won the set for the Angels, when Dani Dzakovic sent an attack out.

"Sa first set namin, marami kaming errors," said Laniog. "Nineteen points sila, and half of it, binigay namin. Nag-less error lang din noong mga second set."

The Angels were thoroughly dominant in the second and third sets, racing to big leads and never letting the Water Defenders get in their groove. After taking their points from PetroGazz in the opening frame, it was BaliPure's turn to commit mistakes in the third set.

The Water Defenders gifted PetroGazz the last two points, with an attack error by Sandy delos Santos ending the match in just an hour and 12 minutes.

Alex Vajdova had 8 points, while Dzakovic and Satriani Espiritu each scored 7. The Water Defenders had 24 points on kills, and had 24 free points off PetroGazz's errors.

The Angels finished with 19 unforced errors of their own.

BaliPure dropped to 0-3 in the conference.
