The PLDT High Speed Hitters are eager to bounce back from a tough four-set loss to the Choco Mucho Flying Titans as they take on the second-seeded Cignal HD Spikers in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference at the PhilSports Arena on Tuesday, Jan. 28.

The High Speed Hitters will be banking on their star hitter Savi Davison, who put up an impressive 27-point performance in their previous match. The Fil-Canadian is currently second among the Best Scorers with 161 points and first among the Best Spikers with a 39.15 percent success rate.

However, PLDT, which dropped to 4-3, needs more offensive contributions from the supporting cast, as no other player managed to reach double digits in scoring against Choco Mucho.

To turn things around, the High Speed Hitters will look to Dell Palomata, Erika Santos, Fiola Ceballos, Mika Reyes, and Majoy Baron to step up and provide the necessary firepower and defensive stability to challenge Cignal's prowess and experience.

Palomata and Baron are first and third among Best Blockers in the conference with 20 and 17 rejections, respectively, which should give the High Speed Hitters the advantage at the net.

PLDT will battle Cignal at 6:30 p.m., where the High Speed Hitters look to keep within striking distance of the top-4 in the standings.
