Games Today
(FilOil Flying V Centre)
2 p.m. – Foton vs Sta. Lucia
4:15 p.m. – United VC vs Petron
7 p.m. – Generika-Ayala vs F2 Logistics
Powerhouse Petron and F2 Logistics seek to keep their immaculate records intact when they tackle separate foes in the Philippine Superliga Grand Prix today at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
The Blaze Spikers take on the surging United VC at 4:15 p.m. while the Cargo Movers battle the hungry Generika-Ayala Lifesavers in the nightcap at 7 p.m. of the prestigious women’s club tourney that has Asics, Mueller, Mikasa, Senoh, Team Rebel Sports, Bizooku, UCPB Gen, Cocolife, Hotel Sogo and Data Project as technical sponsors.
Also tipped to go all out are struggling Foton and Sta. Lucia, who will collide in the 2 p.m. opening salvo of this league that has ESPN5 and 5Plus as broadcast partners.
With Lindsay Stalzer on board, the Cargo Movers dominated Foton, 25-20, 25-20, 26-24, last week to race to their fourth consecutive win and forge a tie with the Blaze Spikers on top of the team standings.
But head coach Ramil de Jesus knows that facing a hungry team like the Lifesavers will never be easy.
“We still have to polish our game,” said de Jesus, who was elated by the experience and leadership displayed by three-time Grand Prix champion Stalzer.
“We still have to step up our game to be able to match the intensity of the imports of the other team. Also, I need our locals to step up and double their effort, especially when the game is on the line.”
