Back in the spotlight and in the league where it all started, Ateneo star Alyssa Valdez was far from her fierce form, but her 25-point effort proved enough to help rally the PLDT Home Ultera Ultra Fast Hitters to a stirring 16-25, 20-25, 26-24, 29-27, 18-16 reversal over Army in Game One of their best-of-three duel for the Shakey’s V-League Season 12 Reinforced Conference crown last Saturday.
