BaliPure battled back from 1-2 set down then poured it all out in the decider to fashion out a 25-15, 22-25, 20-25, 25-19, 15-6 victory over the Power Smashers and gain a share of the lead in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference at the Filoil Center in San Juan late Sunday.

Many-time NCAA MVP Grethcel Soltones, Risa Sato, Jerrili Malabanan and Aiko Urdas combined for 71 hits as the Purest Water Defenders turned a losing stand into a rousing victory with their big windup that kept them in step with early winners Creamline, Air Force and Pocari Sweat.
