Unbeaten Cignal eyes 4th victory

COACH Sammy Acaylar credited the strong connection between the imports and local crew for Cignal’s powerful start in the Philippine Superliga Grand Prix women’s volleyball.

The many-time national team mentor said the HD Spikers’ league-best 3-0 is due to the fact that Ariel Usher and Amanda Anderson hit it off with the rest of the team.

“I’m very proud of my imports because they are very approachable, teachable and they help me motivate their local teammates,” Acaylar told the Inquirer.

When the local seems to relax, Usher and Anderson would help keep the team spirits up, Acaylar said. They also respond well to the leadership of veteran Micmic Laborte.

All these will be put to the test when Cignal clashes with Foton at 6:15 p.m. today at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

Philips Gold, on a two-game run, sees action against RC Cola-Air Force at 4:15 p.m. Bojana Todorovic will again lead the Lady Slammers.
