Pajo remains on top of bracket A with a 2-0 record while STC stays close behind. SWU fell to 1-2.

Over in bracket B, the Mandaue City Comprehensive National High School defeated University of Cebu, 25-14, 25-15 for its third win in as many games. The University of Southern Philippines Foundation remains in hot pursuit with a 2-0 mark.

The top two squads in each bracket at the end of the eliminations will march to the crossover semifinals. The champion of this tournament will represent Cebu in the Tournament of Champions next year.  /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
