CHOCO Mucho and PLDT aim to join defending champion Creamline at the top of the standings when they face separate opponents today in the 2024 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
The Flying Titans take on the Akari Chargers at 6 p.m. and the High Speed Hitters battle the Farm Fresh Foxies at 4 p.m.
Strong Group Athletics and Galeries Tower clash in the 2 p.m. opening game.
Choco Mucho, PLDT and idle Cignal HD Spikers are tied for third place with identical 4-1 records.
Creamline, meanwhile, leads the league with a 5-1 card followed by Petro Gazz at 4-2.
A win by the Flying Titans and the High Speed Hitters today would forge a three-way logjam on top with the Cool Smashers.
Choco Mucho started the tournament by winning its first four games but bowed to PLDT on Tuesday after a grueling five-set battle, 20-25, 12-25, 25-23, 25-22, 13-15.
Sisi Rondina's fiery 25-point outing helped the Flying Titans to force a decider as PLDT's own high-leaper Savannah Davison, who scored 21 points, and Erika Santos, who added 14 points, conspired to give a dent to Choco Mucho's erstwhile immaculate record.
