An outright quarterfinals spot is on the line as undefeated teams Nxled Chameleons and PLDT High Speed Hitters clash in Cebu for the PVL on Tour.
The PVL on Tour heads to the Queen City of the South with a high-stakes showdown between two unbeaten squads as Lyann De Guzman, Jovelyn Fernandez, and the Nxled Chameleons face off against Kiesha Bedonia, Jovy Prado, and the PLDT High Speed Hitters on Saturday at the University of San Jose-Recoletos Coliseum.
Tied at 3-0 in Pool A, Nxled and PLDT collide for an outright quarterfinals berth, with the upstart Chameleons seeking to prove they belong in the league’s upper echelon.
The Chameleons have turned heads with their unbeaten run, thanks to a blend of youthful energy and seasoned leadership.
Rookie De Guzman and newcomer Fernandez have emerged as revelations, carrying much of the offensive load for coach Ettore Guidetti. They’ll lean on the experience of veterans Chiara Permentilla and EJ Cariño to weather PLDT’s firepower.
Standing in their way is a playoff-tested PLDT crew, headlined by Bedonia and Prado, with a potent frontline bolstered by mainstays Kianna Dy, Majoy Baron, and Mika Reyes.
For Nxled, the test is steep — but the opportunity is just as great.
A win over a proven title contender would not only secure their place in the quarterfinals, but also validate their status as more than just a feel-good story of the tournament.
First serve is at 4:00 p.m. as Cebu fans get a front-row seat to one of the PVL on Tour’s most anticipated matchups yet.
