Cagayan, Army go for crucial V-League wins

REELING from the loss to PLDT Home Ultera, Cagayan Valley looks to get back on track against winless Coast Guard Tuesday in the Shakey’s V-League Open Conference at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

The Lady Rising Suns, who bowed to the Ultra Fast Spikers in four sets last Sunday, seek their third win in four games in the 4 p.m. duel with the Lady Dolphins.

Philippine Army shoots for a third straight win when it faces Baguio at 2 p.m.

Sporting a 3-1 record, the Lady Troopers hope to ride on the momentum of their four-set triumph over the Meralco Power Spikers last Sunday. And with a talented and experienced squad, Army is the heavy favorite to pick up another victory.

But the unheralded Summer Spikers are also going into the game high on confidence after nipping Coast Guard in five sets last Thursday.

Coast Guard has lost all four matches so far and could see its hopes of reaching the next round slip with another defeat to Cagayan.

Notwithstanding their loss to the Ultra Fast Spikers, the Lady Rising Suns still boast of one of the strongest lineups in the league led by Aiza Maizo-Pontillas and Angeli Tabaquero.

In Spikers’ Turf action, PLDT Home shoots for a third win against a struggling Army squad at 9 a.m., before Champion Infinity tangles with Instituto Estetico Manila in a rematch of the Shakey’s V-League men’s finals. C. Tupas
