Sabete played as an opposite hitter—also to her surprise—and proved quite effective at it on Tuesday, scoring 17 points to help the Angels pull out a come-from-behind 12-25, 25-14, 25-22, 25-20 victory over PLDT in the PVL All-Filipino Conference eliminations at PhilSports Arena.

“I should continue supporting Myla,” Sabete, who missed the Angels’ game against Creamline last week where the Cool Smashers dealt them their only loss, said. INQ
