BaliPure and Customs eye the last two semifinals seats when they take on separate foes today in the Shakey’s V-League Reinforced Conference at Philsports Arena.

BaliPure will ride on the crest of its three-game winning run when it runs into faltering Laoag at 6 p.m., while Customs encounters sinking Coast Guard at 4 p.m.

Both teams hope to join University of Santo Tomas and Pocari Sweat in the next round.

Katharine Morrell and Kaylee Manns have also so far worked on their chemistry with BaliPure locals like Amy Ahomiro, Dzi Gervacio and Chario Soriano.

The Water Defenders are coming off a 25-13, 25-23, 25-17 triumph over University of the Philippines where Morrell fired 24 points.

Customs, meanwhile, will have Valdez teaming up with Thai imports Kanjana Kuthaison and Natthanicha Jaisaen, while Coast Guard looks to rely on a low-key local crew led by Ann Necesito and Roxanne Madulid.

At 0-5, Coast Guard may have a tough time against Customs, who aim to lean on teamwork rather than depend on Valdez alone.
