1 p.m. – Air Force vs Army (men’s)

6:30 p.m. – Iriga-Navy vs Pocari-Air Force (women’s)
Pocari Sweat-Air Force tries to follow up its recent victory when it squares off with Iriga-Navy today in the resumption of the 2018 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at The Arena in San Juan City.
Match is at 6:30 p.m. with the Lady Jet Spikers seeking to follow up their 18-25, 25-20, 26-24, 25-21 triumph over the PetroGazz Angels at the start of the round-robin quarterfinals last Saturday.
PetroGazz, meanwhile, aims to bounce back from that defeat when it clashes with Tacloban at 4 p.m., while men’s teams Air Force and Army raise the curtain at 1 p.m.
Focus, however, will be on Pocari as it also aims to duplicate its 25-8, 23-25, 25-18, 25-16 win over Iriga-Navy last May 23.
Arielle Love, Madeline Palmer and Myla Pablo are once again expected to lead Pocari’s assault after combining for 53 points the last time.
Aside from providing offensive firepower, Love and Pablo were also solid defensively as they combined for six of the team’s 11 blocks.
