PLDT seeks Shakey’s V-League sweep

PLDT Home Ultera aims to extend its unbeaten start to seven games as it battles Fourbees-Perpetual Help today in the Shakey’s V-League Open Conference at Filoil Flying V Arena.

The Ultra Fast Spikers who are coming off a five set triumph over Meralco last Sunday, set out as the heavy favorites in the 2 p.m. duel with the Lady Altas (2-3).

Another win will give PLDT a sweep of the first round and plenty of momentum heading into the quarterfinals.

Running fifth, the Lady Altas, on the other hand, are hard pressed to enhance their bid to reach the next round with Navy hot on their heels at sixth spot with a 2-4 record.

Cagayan Valley faces Meralco at 4 p.m.

The Lady Rising Suns were pushed to the limit by Philippine Navy before pulling through in the fifth set last Sunday, jacking up their record to 4-1 in a tie with Philippine Army.

Meralco will pin its hopes on former La Salle stalwarts Stephanie Mercado and Aby Maraño as the Power Spikers gun for a third win in five games.

PLDT seeks to sustain its fine form against Air Force in Spikers’ Turf men’s action, even as Instituto Estetico Manila and Cavite Fourbees shoot for their first win at 9 a.m.

The Ultra Fast Spikers are gunning for a fourth win in five games.
