Angels seek payback against Perlas

Games today

2 p.m. – Choco Mucho vs BaliPure/ 4 p.m. – Chef’s Classics vs Motolite

6 p.m. – BanKo-Perlas vs PetroGazz

MANILA, Philippines — PetroGazz tries to extend its streak to six and get back at first-round tormentor BanKo-Perlas while Motolite hopes to rebound from a stinging setback as it faces Chef’s Classics in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference today at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.

Choco Mucho also seeks to build some momentum from a scary victory that ended a long slump as it tangles with struggling BaliPure in another busy day in the second-round elims of the season-ending conference organized by Sports Vision.

The Angels marked their return from a week-long stint in Taiwan with a lopsided 25-15, 25-19, 25-18 victory over the Red Spikers last Sunday as they wrested solo second at 6-2 with an eye for another win against the Perlas Spikers, who have gone win-loss-win-loss in their last four games for a 6-4 card.

Gametime is at 6 p.m. with Jonah Sabete, Paneng Mercado and Cherry Nuñag of PetroGazz bracing for a fierce duel with the likes of Nicole Tiamzon, Dzi Gervacio, Joy Doromal and veteran Sue Roces of BanKo-Perlas, which trounced the former in four last Aug. 11.

Kathy Bersola, the league’s leading blocker, is also expected to come in top form after sustaining a minor injury that hampered her stint in the Perlas Spikers’ shutout loss to the surging Air Force Jet Spikers last Sunday.
