Games on Tuesday
(PhilSports Arena)
4 pm – Petro Gazz vs PLDT
6:30 p.m. – Chery Tiggo vs Akari
PLDT and Petro Gazz try to keep its place in the magic four as they collide in a marquee showdown on Tuesday in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena.
In a three-way logjam at No. 3 with 3-1 cards alongside the Chery Tiggo Crossovers and breathing down the necks of the unbeaten Cignal HD Spikers (4-0) and Creamline Cool Smashers (3-0), the High Speed Hitters and Angels clash at 4 p.m. with hopes of keeping their lofty perch.
PLDT is out to bounce back from a stinging 25-12, 25-23, 25-20, 22-25 to Chery Tiggo last week while Petro Gazz seeks to ride the crest of its 28-26, 29-27, 25-18 win over Akari on Thursday.
The High Speed Hitters will need to provide Savi Davison some much needed help after the latter exploded for 27 hits but lacked the support that hastened their painful downfall.
The Angels, for their part, should draw strength from Brooke Van Sickle, who had a team-best 19 hits last time, and the emergence of Myla Pablo, who had a typhoon-like 15-point effort.
Chery Tiggo likewise will try to keep up with the big guns as it tangles with Akari (2-3) at 6:30 p.m. — Joey Villar
