Seamless Sabete position shift helps Petro Gazz past PLDT
Jonah Sabete unexpectedly excelled as an opposite spiker for Petro Gazz, scoring 17 points to help the team secure a come-from-behind 12-25, 25-14, 25-22, 25-20 victory over PLDT in the PVL All-Filipino Conference.
Petro Gazz coach Koji Tsuzurabara revealed that Sabete was only intended to be a substitute but proved her readiness for the role.
Sabete's transition to the opposite spiker position was necessitated by Aiza Maiso-Pontillas nursing a slight calf sprain.
Sabete expressed her preparedness to play in any position needed, stating her commitment to perform regardless of the assignment.
Her performance, alongside Brooke Van Sickle's 21 points and Myla Pablo's 19 points, propelled Petro Gazz to a 4-1 record in the conference, dealing PLDT their second straight defeat.
