Angels, Crossovers pursue quarters bids

MANILA, Philippines — With five playdates left in the two-round prelims of the PVL Reinforced Conference, every match now carries do-or-die stakes – especially for teams battling to secure a quarterfinal berth. Among them are Petro Gazz and Chery Tiggo, both desperate to keep their campaigns alive.

The Angels are in a precarious position at No. 7 after an inconsistent showing in the first phase. They aim to regain footing as they take on the surging Farm Fresh Foxies – currently boasting an impressive 4-1 record that has virtually assured them of a Top 8 finish.

Their 4 p.m. showdown at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan promises fireworks, with Petro Gazz going all-out not just to halt Farm Fresh’s run but also to strengthen its own bid for a spot in the knockout quarterfinals.

The excitement continues in the 6:30 p.m. main game, where Chery Tiggo seeks to keep its flickering quarterfinal hopes alive against Capital1 Solar.
