The Chery Tiggo Crossovers aim to lock in a PVL on Tour quarterfinals spot when they clash with the winless Galeries Tower Highrisers.
The Chery Tiggo Crossovers look to secure their place in the PVL on Tour quarterfinals when they take on the Galeries Tower Highrisers at the Dasmariñas Arena in Cavite on Saturday, August 2.
After coming up just short of clinching a direct quarterfinal berth, the Crossovers are eager to bounce back and keep their title hopes alive.
Standing in their way is a Galeries Tower squad that struggled throughout the preliminaries, finishing with a 0-5 record but remains a threat no matter what.
Chery Tiggo is expected to lean on its powerful frontline led by Cess Robles, along with key contributions from Renee Penafiel, Ara Galang, and Imee Hernandez.
The Crossovers will also rely on their solid floor defense and consistent ball distribution led by liberos Karen Verdeflor and Anngela Nunag.
Despite being the heavy favorites, the Norman Miguel-led squad is wary of complacency as it looks to advance and regain its winning rhythm heading into the next round.
First serve for the Chery Tiggo-Galeries Tower clash is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
