Pool A leaders PLDT and Farm Fresh seek to seal their spot in the top three when they face separate foes before the Halloween break in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference on Friday at FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
Coming off a tough loss to an import-less Cignal last week, PLDT bounced back on Saturday at Ynares Center Montalban, dealing Farm Fresh’s first loss, 22-25, 25-23, 25-16, 25-14, to tie its victim at 3-2.
The High Speed Hitters try to end the round on a high note against the winless Nxled Chameleons at 6:30 p.m.
“I think it’s a long road. We’re not even thinking of the playoffs. We gotta take care of stuff next week first, then kinda recoup and reset,” Savi Davison said.
“We’re heading into a crossover. It’s just day by day, how do we stay healthy, how do we maintain, how do we get better? From here on out, it’s just point by point, game by game.”
The Foxies, on the other hand, try to bounce back against the Choco Mucho Flying Titans at 4 p.m.
Cignal tries to end its Pool A stint with three straight wins against Capital1 at 1:30 p.m.
The Super Spikers and Flying Titans still have a chance to grab a top-three spot for the right to be grouped against the bottom three of Pool B in the second round.
With Erika Santos leading the way and new import Katrin Trevichavska getting more time to adjust, the Super Spikers look to win their third straight game after a 0-2 start.
Choco Mucho, on the other hand, banks on Marlee Smith, Kat Tolentino, Isa Molde, Tia Andaya, Lorraine Pecaña, and Cherry Nunag when it tries to improve its 2-1 record against Farm Fresh, which has Eli Rousseaux and locals Trisha Tubu, Ces Molina, Rizza Cruz and Lorene Toring.
