The Petro Gazz Angels are looking to build on their momentum as they brace for a challenging matchup against the PLDT High Speed Hitters in PVL on Tour, which makes a stop at the Capital Arena in Ilagan City Saturday, July 12.

The Angels split their first two games in the preseason showcase, suffering a grueling five-set loss to the Nxled Chameleons before bouncing back with a hard-earned sweep of the Galeries Tower Highrisers.

Now facing a title-contending squad in the High Speed Hitters, Petro Gazz knows it needs to dig deep to stay competitive.

Still missing MVP contenders Brooke Van Sickle and MJ Phillips due to Alas Pilipinas duties, the Angels will again lean heavily on the veteran leadership of Myla Pablo, Jonah Sabete, Aiza Maizo-Pontillas, and veteran setter Chie Saet to steady the team in high-pressure situations.

Newcomers Jules Tolentino and Pauline De Guzman may also be called upon to step up as Petro Gazz tests its depth against a PLDT side packed with firepower and playoff experience.
