ALL SIX teams see action in a rare three-game bill as they jostle for positions today in the Philippine Superliga All Filipino Conference at Cuneta Astrodome.
Cignal and Shopinas try to finish their first-round campaign on a high note when they clash in the opener at 1:30 p.m., while Foton guns for a fourth win against Mane ‘n Tail at 4:15 p.m.
Unbeaten leader Petron goes up against Philips Gold in the 6:15 p.m. match.
The Blaze Spikers continue to assert themselves against highly motivated teams. For the third straight game, Petron dropped the first set and battled through a five-setter two straight times.
“This kind of game tests our maturity,” said Petron coach George Pascua.
Petron looked vulnerable against the gritty, trash-talking and power-hitting Lady Stallions led by Honey Royse Tubino, Danika Gendrauli, Lilet Mabbayad and Aby Praca last Saturday.
But Aby Maraño and Rachel Ann Daquis took over to clinch the game after Mane ‘n Tail tied it at 13 in the fifth set. The final score was 25-27, 25-22, 25-16, 17-25, 16-14.
