Alyssa Bertolano committed a crucial error on the service line which gave Zus Coffee a 13-10 edge, as Clo Mondonedo powered her team to match point with an ace, 14-10. 

While Lycha Ebon would save two match points on attacks, Kate Santiago comes through in the end with the off-the-block kill to gift her team its first win of the series.

AC Miner registered 17 points on 13 attacks and four blocks, while Chai Troncoso had 13 points and 21 digs, and Jolina dela Cruz chipped in 10 points. Enabling the offense was Chenae Basarte, who tallied 18 excellent sets.

Meanwhile, being a set away from victory, Galeries could not take care of business in three tries. Jean Asis tallied her PVL career-high in the loss with 27 points anchored on 21 attacks, five blocks, and an ace.
