"Our hard work really paid off," said Generika coach Sherwin Meneses. "After three losses, we still kept going."

"I told the team to just be patient, and continue working hard," he added. "We know that we will have our time, so we didn't give up."

Meneses said their strong serve threw F2 Logistics off their comfort zone, and indeed, the Lifesavers tallied six aces while giving up none to the Cargo Movers.

"We're happy that we stuck to our game plan," he said.
