PLDT, Creamline stake clean slates

MANILA, Philippines — PLDT and Creamline hope to stay perfect as they battle Chery Tiggo and Choco Mucho, respectively, today in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The High Speed Hitters shoot for a fourth straight win against the Crossovers (2-1) at 4 p.m. while the Cool Smashers eye win No. 3 over the Flying Titans (2-2), their sister team, at 6:30 p.m.

PLDT coach Rald Ricafort continued to preach consistency.

“Ever since, it’s all about consistency, huwag ma-frustrate and hopefully maging mature pag stronger teams katapat namin,” said Ricafort.

Although PLDT is ahead, Creamline’s two wins were a little more impressive since it came against serious contenders Petro Gazz, the two-time Reinforced Conference champion, and Akari, the Reinforced Conference runner-up.

The more exciting part is the return of skipper Alyssa Valdez, Tots Carlos and Jema Galanza.
