Cignal, Petro clash in PVL yearender

MANILA, Philippines — End the year with a bang.

This will be the goal of Cignal when it clashes with dangerous Petro Gazz in the last PVL All-Filipino Conference playdate of 2024 at the PhilSports Arena.

The HD Spikers are on top alongside the Creamline Cool Smashers with pristine 4-0 records and could reclaim the solo lead with a victory over the Angels, who are breathing down the leaders’ necks with a 4-1 card.

“Mindset is to keep working and moving forward from this game,” said Cignal star spiker Vanie Gandler after their 25-18, 25-22, 25-23 victory over Nxled in Cebu last week.

But hurdling Petro Gazz is easier said than done as the two-time reinforced Conference champion is likewise on a roll following a three-game streak that includes a 12-25, 25-14, 25-22, 25-20 triumph over PLDT Tuesday.

In that game, the Angels had to rely on their three-headed battering ram in Brooke Van Sickle, Myla Pablo and Jonah Sabete, who unleashed 21, 19 and 17 points, respectively.

Meanwhile, Galeries Tower (1-4) and Chery Tiggo (3-2) collide at 4 p.m. in the league’s final playdate of the year before resuming Jan. 14 next year.
