Chery Tiggo stakes its unbeaten run with it goes up against winless United Auctioneers-Army Thursday, Oct. 27, in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.
Match is at 5:30 p.m. with the Crossovers seeking not only their fifth straight win but also the first semifinal berth against the Lady Troopers.
Fancied Creamline, likewise, aims to keep its record unscathed when it collides with Akari in the 2:30 p.m. curtain raiser.
A victory for Creamline, which is coming off a 25-18, 22-25, 25-22, 25-12 triumph over Cignal last Saturday, Oct. 22, would extend its winning streak to four games.
Chery Tiggo is expected to flaunt its solid frontline composed of Mylene Paat, Jelena Cvijovic and EJ Laure with their consistent showing over the past four matches including in their 29-27, 18-25, 25-16, 25-20 victory over crowd favorite Choco Mucho three days back.
The trio has been producing solid numbers, including a combined 50 points against the Flying Titans.
But a hungry Army refused to get intimidated as it seeks to crawl out of the 0-3 hole at the cellar following its 25-17, 25-21, 25-16 loss to F2 Logistics last Tuesday, Oct. 18.
The Lady Troopers needed to work double time on all fronts particularly on attacks after none from them scored in double figures the last time.
Still, Army coach Kungfu Reyes remains optimistic as he pins his hopes on Jovelyn Gonzaga and Royse Tubino along with import Laura Condotta to end their misfortunes.
