Cignal clashes with tough Farm Fresh in PVL All-Filipino
Games on Tuesday
(MOA Arena)
4 p.m. – Farm Fresh vs. Cignal
6:30 p.m. – Creamline vs. Choco Mucho
AN INSPIRED Cignal tries to sustain one of its strongest starts in franchise history as it battles a dangerous Farm Fresh in Tuesday’s PVL All-Filipino Conference at the MOA Arena.
The Manny V. Pangilinan-owned Cignal Super Spikers’ decision to stick to their old guns rather than going on a spending free agent spree has been bearing fruit after zooming to the top with two wins in a row including a 25-20, 16-25, 25-19, 25-18 win over the soup up Choco Mucho Flying Titans on Thursday in San Juan.
Erika Santos, Vanessa Gandler and Jacqueline Acuña showed they’re more than their beauty queen-like physiques and combined to deliver the most decisive blows with 18, 16 and 13 points, respectively.
Ms. Santos said the key was sticking to what they do best.
“We just stick to our strengths,” said the PVL on Tour MVP.
And that best must have been playing rock solid defense that helped them tame Choco Mucho’s two-headed dragon in Sisi Rondina and Eya Laure.
They would need that and more when they tackle the loaded Farm Fresh Foxies, who are eyeing their first victory after absorbing a heartbreaking 25-23, 13-25, 21-25, 25-15, 15-12 defeat to the Brooke Van Sickle-headed Nxled Chameleons a week ago.
Farm Fresh was one of the squads that went on a free-agent binges after picking up Royse Tubino, Ara Galang, Mylene Paat and Rem Palma among others but would need to familiarize them more with remnants like Alohi Robins-Hardy, Trisha Tubu, Ces Molina, Riri Meneses and Lorene Toring.
Meanwhile, sister teams Creamline (0-1) and Choco Mucho (1-1) collide at 6:30 p.m. in a battle between two most popular club teams in the land. — Joey Villar
