4 p.m. – BanKo-Perlas vs PayMaya (Women’s)
PayMaya tries to pull itself out of the crowded top spot when it squares off with skidding BanKo-Perlas today in the 2018 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at The Arena in San Juan City.
The High Flyers aim for their fourth win in five outings in their 4 p.m. confrontation with the Perlas Spikers .
Also with 3-1 records are the Creamline Cool Smashers and the BaliPure-National University Water Defenders.
Coming off a week-long break, the stalwarts of PayMaya coach Roger Gorayeb are determined to follow up their 25-23, 22-25, 25-20, 25-23 victory over Iriga-Navy last weekend.
While Tess Rountree is expected to lead the High Flyers’ offensive onslaught after averaging a 43-percent success on her attacks, PayMaya boasts of a solid floor defense anchored on veteran Lizlee Ann Pantone.
Pantone, who is currently the top digger in the conference so far, is ready to face BanKo-Perlas’ power-hitting foreign duo and current leading scorers Jutarat Montripila and Lakia Bright.
Despite Montripila and Bright’s impressive performances, the Perlas Spikers have dropped their last three matches for 1-4,mark.
