SEEKING to sustain its high speed connection for a semifinal bid, PLDT aims for its fourth straight win as it faces Farm Fresh in the PVL All-Filipino Conference at the Araneta Coliseum on Tuesday.
The High Speed Hitters battle the Foxies at 1 p.m. to kickstart a triple-header at the Big Dome, where both teams will break their 3-2 and 9-point tie for fourth place.
The winner between PLDT and Farm Fresh overtakes current third placer Choco Mucho which sports a 3-3 card with 10 points.
Undefeated Nxled leads the pack with a 5-0 slate and 14 points followed by defending champ Creamline with a 4-1 record and 12 points.
After the High Speed Hitters-Foxies collision, Spikers’ Turf action between the AFP Cavaliers and the Savouge Spin Doctors ensues at 3:30 p.m.
The Zus Coffee Thunderbelles and the Galeries Tower Highrisers then clash at 6 p.m. to finish the card.
Starting the conference with back-to-back losses, PLDT claimed its third straight win and dealt Creamline its first loss of the conference in a 25-19, 25-27, 25-23, 25-23 4-setter last Thursday.
Fil-Am hitter Savi Davison came through anew for the Rald Ricafort-mentored High Speed Hitters with 22 points on top of 19 excellent receptions and eight digs.
“I mean, we still have a couple of tough teams to play. We have Choco Mucho, we have Farm Fresh, we have Galeries,” said Davison.
“I mean, just looking forward, I think we have to focus more on our side of the court. Regardless of who we play, I know that if we control the pace, if we play the way that we can, regardless of who’s on the other side of the net, I feel like we’re going to give them a hard time.”
Meanwhile, the Koji Tsuzurabara-coached Foxies are coming off a 25-21, 18-25, 21-25, 25-19, 15-10 victory against the Thunderbelles last Thursday.
Royse Tubino and Mylene Paat-Rezanova led Farm Fresh with 20 and 18 points, respectively.
The veteran duo look to take charge anew for Farm Fresh.
