Foton’s EJ Laure takes on three PLDT defenders.
Reigning champion F2 Logistics vented its ire on Marinerang Pilipina to prevail, 25-14, 25-17, 25-11, in the Philippine Superliga Invitational Conference Monday at Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
Following a frustrating 22-25, 23-25, 18-25 loss to rival Petron on Saturday, the Cargo Movers bounced back with an easy win as Ara Galang, Majoy Baron and Kianna Dy provided the firepower on offense.
Galang delivered 17 points off 14 kills and three blocks while Baron and Dy chipped in 12 points apiece and Desiree Cheng added nine points and 13 digs for the Cargo Movers, who also drew an explosive game from setter Kim Fajardo.
Fajardo, who struggled last conference with a finger injury, scattered the offensive wealth with 21 excellent sets.

“Our previous lost was a wake-up call but knowing my team, they adjusted right away,” said F2 Logistics head coach Ramil De Jesus. “The players showed the real game of F2 Logistics unlike our last game.”
F2 Logistics improved to 1-1 in Pool B while dealing Marinerang Pilipina a second straight defeat.
Earlier, Foton got its swag back to dominate PLDT Home Fibr, 25-21, 25-20, 25-18.
The Tornadoes displayed a balanced attack to clobber the Power Spikers in 78 minutes and capture their first win after opening the season with twin setbacks.
Shaya Adorador paced the assault with 15 points laced with nine excellent reception and six digs while CJ Rosario manned the middle with five kills for 12 points for Foton, which is missing the services of Jaja Santiago, Dindin Manabat and Maika Ortiz.
Santiago and Manabat are competing in the prestigious V.Premier League in Japan while Ortiz crashed with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
“Of course, we’re happy. Coming from two losses, this is a huge boost for us,” said Foton coach Aaron Velez, who also drew great plays from Gyzelle Sy and impressive floor defense from Jen Reyes.
Foton forced a tie with PLDT at 1-2 before entering the second round, where the Tornadoes will be grouped in Pool D with Sta. Lucia, Generika-Ayala and F2 Logistics.
The Power Hitters missed their head coach Roger Gorayeb, who was under the weather, while the previous game’s top scorer, Grethcel Soltones, struggled with just four points, leaving Jerrili Malabanan to carry the cudgels with 11 points in a losing effort.
PLDT will join Pool C in the next round together with Cignal, Petron and Marinerang Pilipina.
