2 p.m. – Creamline vs BaliPure

PetroGazz tries to protect its pristine record while BaliPure seeks the elusive first win when they clash with separate foes today in the Premier Volleyball League Season 3 Reinforced Conference at The Arena in San Juan City.
The Angels gun for their sixth straight victory as they start their second-round eliminations campaign against the BanKo-Perlas Spikers at 4 p.m. while the Water Defenders collide with the Creamline Cool Smashers at 2 p.m.

PetroGazz swept the five-game, first-round elims without dropping a set that include a 25-19, 25-21, 25-21 triumph over BanKo-Perlas last May 29.
Angels coach Arnold Laniog, however, said they are more focused on their performance than on their standings.
“Yung panalo, dumadating naman yun eh, basta’t mag-perform ka nang maayos,” said Laniog, adding that they are expecting stiffer competition in the second round now that they are on top of the standings.
BanKo-Perlas, however, is not just looking at redemption but also on winning as many matches as it can to catch up at the leaderboard after finishing first round with a 2-3 mark to settle in the middle standings.
Coming off a stinging 25-22, 23-25, 27-29, 25-20, 15-7 loss to Pacifictown Army over the weekend, the Perlas Spikers are determined to get back on track with Lakia Bright, Yasemin Yildirim and Kathy Bersola leading the assault.
