Perlas Spikers and two other teams seek their second straight victories Tuesday when the Premier Volleyball League (PVL)
resumes at Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan.

The Spikers turned heads when they stopped the Alyssa Valdez-led Creamline on Sunday, 23-25, 25-22, 25-19, 25-21.

Amy Ahomiro and Dzi Gervacio powered Perlas in the stunning win, firing 17 and 13 points, respectively.

Gervacio capped her breakout game with a spike that hit Valdez squarely on the face, shocking fans and earning her a wave of haters on social media.

Perlas will gun for win No. 2 against Air Force at 6:30 p.m., while BaliPure and Power Smashers collide at 4 p.m.

Sta. Elena and Café Lupe clash in the men’s match at 1 p.m.

The Power Smashers drubbed defending champion Pocari Sweat Lady Warriors, 25-9, 25-22, 25-21, also in Sunday’s opener.

“There are no superstars for me,” said Power Smashers coach Nes Pamilar. “All of them must do their best. This is their time to show what they can do. I don’t want them to show off. They need to help each other.”
