Creamline and Cignal stake their respective unbeaten runs to catch up with Choco Mucho at the helm when they battle separate rivals in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference on Thursday, March 7, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.

The Cool Smashers clash with the Galeries Tower Highrisers at 4 p.m. while the HD Spikers collide with the Nxled Chameleons at 6 p.m.

Both Creamline and Cignal eye their third straight win to forge a three-way logjam atop the leaderboard with Choco Mucho.

Expect the Cool Smashers to flaunt their solid frontline headed by Tots Carlos, who exploded with a career-high 31 points in their four-set victory against the Akari Chargers last week.

Also out to provide firepower for Creamline are hard-hitting Jema Galanza, Jeanette Panaga, Bea De Leon and Michele Gumabao.

Though facing a formidable squad, Galeries Tower, for its part, is still determined to find the right combinations to end its two-game slump with Norielle Ipac and Shola Alvarez leading the charge.

Also expected to resume its dominance is Cignal as it parades former MVP Ces Molina, Jovelyn Gonzaga, Vanie Gandler and Gel Cayuna in the other matchup.

But standing in their way is Nxled, which is out to find its winning energy after failing to do so in its first two matches over PLDT and Choco Mucho.

Leading the Chameleons in their bid for their first win are Krich Alvarez, Ivy Lacsina and Lycha Ebon.
