Rising Army goes to battle vs winless Navy

RC COLA-ARMY is getting formidable each time the Lady Troopers step into the court.

Expect them to be more durable against Standard Insurance-Navy today in the 2016 Philippine Superliga (PSL) All-Filipino Conference women’s volleyball tournament.

“So far, I like what I’m seeing,” said RC Cola-Army coach Kungfu Reyes. “Our attacks are getting stronger, our defense is getting tighter. I like where we are headed.”

The Lady Troopers (2-0) are aiming to forge a three-way tie with idle Petron (3-0) along with F2 Logistics, which faces Generika after the 4 p.m. Army opener at the Cuneta Astrodome.

Even though the odds favor them, Reyes, who led Army to three straight PSL titles, refused to be complacent against the Corvettes, who are still looking for a breakthrough victory after losing their first match.

Generika encountered stiff resistance from Standard Insurance-Navy before pulling off a 26-28, 28-26, 20-25, 19-25 victory. Veterans Pau Soriano, Nori Jane Diaz and Lilet Mabbayad will play for the Corvettes.
