Prized setter Ish Polvorosa continues to shine under the bright lights of the 2025 Spikers’ Turf Open Conference, steering Criss Cross in an unbeaten march straight to the finals.

The King Crunchers went on a sizzling 13-game sweep en route to a third championship collision against defending champion Cignal.

All thanks to the steady leadership and pinpoint playmaking of Polvorosa, who earned his second Spikers’ Turf Press Corps Player of the Week honor presented by Pilipinas Live for the period of 26 to 30 March, the fourth straight week a Criss Cross player bagged the recognition.

The former Ateneo de Manila University playmaker powered the King Crunchers’ semifinals sweep.

‘Personally, and for the team, these 13 games — they’re all erased. I don’t care about what happened in the last 13 games. I’m looking forward and very focused on the fact that we’re going to the Finals next week.’

He tallied 13 excellent sets he laced with three points and six digs in Criss Cross’ dominating 25-19, 25-20, 25-16 triumph over VNS-Laticrete Griffins last Wednesday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Polvorosa saved his best for last as he continued to be a thorn in the side of the HD Spikers, dishing 27 excellent sets for a 25-22, 19-25, 25-18, 25-21, win on Sunday to cap the semis unscathed.

But for the 27-year-old setter, all past performances from their unbeaten run mean nothing if the King Crunchers can’t finish the job.

“Personally, and for the team, these 13 games — they’re all erased. I don’t care about what happened in the last 13 games. I’m looking forward and very focused on the fact that we’re going to the Finals next week,” Polvorosa emphasized.
