Petron seeks win No. 3 against faltering Cignal
DEFENDING champion Petron, which swept its way to the title last year, is looking for win No. 3 against a team looking to avoid loss No. 3.
It is on the right track in its title retention campaign and will try to sustain its run against faltering Cignal in the Philippine Superliga All Filipino Conference women’s volleyball today at Cuneta Astrodome.
Despite a revamped lineup, the Tri-Activ Spikers proved they still carry enough firepower after beating Foton and Generika. But they will have their hands full against the HD Spikers in the 6 p.m. match.
Foton will vie for its second straight win against winless Amy’s Kitchen-Perpetual at 4 p.m.
The Tornadoes have gained strength after beating the Lifesavers, while the Amy’s Spikers are still looking for a win after two debacles.
The HD Spikers, who also had major reboot in the off-season, had trouble in their first two matches and are expected to come out fighting for a breakthrough victory.
“We still have a lot to fix and work hard. Cignal is a strong team which just had misfortunes, and we can’t afford to take them lightly,” said Petron coach George Pascua.
Cignal’s coach Sammy Acaylar said his players lack fighting spirit.
“We have yet to find the right chemistry,” said Acaylar.
