Cignal HD Spikers eye share of PVL lead in clash with Choco Mucho

Games on Thursday
(PhilSports Arena)
4 p.m. – ZUS vs Galeries Tower
6:30 p.m. – Choco Mucho vs Cignal

CIGNAL aims to join sister club PLDT at the helm as it clashes with a dangerous Choco Mucho on Thursday in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena.

The HD Spikers hurdled their first two assignments including one against the Chery Tiggo Crossovers last week and should reclaim a piece of the lead if they could hurdle the Flying Titans in their 6:30 p.m. duel.

Cignal skipper Ces Molina should continue to be the team’s beacon of strength after coming through big last game with a match-best 13 points while providing help in their floor defense with nine digs and seven receptions.

But it was the HD Spikers’ ability to recover quickly when the chips were done that have done great things to the team.

Choco Mucho though is expected to ride the crest of its 25-20, 26-24, 26-28, 25-9 win over Capital1 last Thursday for the former’s second win in three outings.

And the Flying Titans have no intention of slowing down.

“We’re hoping to work harder to sustain the momentum,” said Choco Mucho mentor Date Alinsunurin.

ZUS Coffee, for its part, eyes to improve on its 1-1 card as it tangles with Galeries Tower (0-3) at 4 p.m. — Joey Villar
