HAVING LOST their last two matches, the Choco Mucho Flying Titans try to halt their skid when they take on the PetroGazz Angels in Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Open Conference action today at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan City.
Set for 2 p.m., the Flying Titans (2-3) seek to move back to the .500 mark in the ongoing PVL tournament against the streaking Angels (3-2).
The last of the losses of Choco Mucho came at the hands of undefeated league-leaders Creamline Cool Smashers in four sets, 25-12, 25-22, 19-25 and 25-18, on Aug. 31.
The duo of Kat Tolentino and Maddie Madayag tried to tow their team to the victory but the veteran crew of Creamline, led by Alyssa Valdez, proved to be too much to handle for Choco Mucho as it bowed to the defeat.
Misses Tolentino and Madayag led the attack of the Flying Titans, finishing with 20 and 13 points, respectively.
Arianna Angustia was the third leading scorer for Choco Mucho with eight points.
Out to add to the struggles of the Flying Titans are the Angels, winners of their last two matches.
The most recent of PetroGazz’s wins was over the Philippine Air Force Lady Jet Spikers, which came in straight sets, 25-16, 25-20 and 25-23, on Sept. 1.
Leading the balanced attack of the Angels were Cherry Nunag and Jovielyn Prado with 10 points each followed by Stephanie Mercado and Jeanette Panaga who chipped in eight apiece.
Happy with the win, PetroGazz hopes it gets to continue to improve and keep rolling.
Meanwhile, playing in the middle game at 4 p.m. are Creamline (6-0) and the PacificTown-Army Lady Troopers (2-2) to be followed by the match at 6 p.m. between the Banko Perlas Spikers (4-2) and BaliPure Purest Water Defenders (2-3). — Michael Angelo S. Murillo
