The Galeries Tower High Risers hope to avoid a winless group phase as they face the PLDT High Speed Hitters to close out the Cebu leg of PVL on Tour.
France Ronquillo and the Galeries Tower Highrisers aim to end their Pool A campaign on a high note when they battle the undefeated PLDT High Speed Hitters in the PVL on Tour this Sunday, July 27.
Game time is 4:00 p.m. at the University of San Jose-Recoletos Coliseum.
Ronquillo, who fired 14 points in their previous outing, will once again carry the scoring load for the Highrisers as they try to avoid a winless group stage before heading into the do-or-die play-in round.
Galeries Tower has struggled to close out matches throughout the tournament, and is coming off a tight straight-set loss to Farm Fresh where the team committed 22 unforced errors.
A more composed and disciplined showing will be crucial against a veteran PLDT side.
The High Speed Hitters, now at 4-0 and safely into the quarterfinals, are out to complete a pool sweep and build rhythm ahead of a long break before the playoffs.
PLDT recently welcomed back Fil-Canadian spiker Savi Davison to bolster the roster and could be reintegrated more this game with lower stakes.
Kiesha Bedonia is also expected to continue her strong form after dropping 15 points in their last win over Nxled.
While the standings may point to contrasting momentum, Galeries Tower hopes to turn things around behind Ronquillo’s leadership and send a strong message before the stakes rise further next round.
