Madayag contributed 18 points on 13 attacks, three blocks, and two aces.

While talking to reporters in the postgame interview, she could not help but cry after their resurgence on the court.

"Sobrang naging emotional ako sa panalo kasi sobrang ganda nung laban, as in grabe talaga. Down kami ilang points, pero hinabol namin," Madayag told reporters.

But before that, PLDT also had a blazing 7-1 start in Set 4, however, they were able to overturn the frame, 25-17.

High Speed Hitter Savannah Davison had 31 points and 18 excellent receptions in the loss.

"Nung fourth set, sabi ko every time pumapasok ako, please ihabol natin. As in tinitingnan ko sila sa mata, sabi ko kapit tayo hanggang dulo kasi andito na tayo, trinabaho natin so kailangan natin tapusin nang maayos," Madayag added.

"Mas naging emotional ako ngayon kasi after nung win, doon lang nag-sink in na pumasok na sa semis."

She was also grateful that no one got injured in the intense game.

"Very thankful kami kay Lord na 'di Niya kami pinabayaan, first of all. Walang nagka-major injury sa amin, and sobrang thankful lang din ako na kumapit kami as a team," she said.
