RC Cola-Army, F2 Logistics eye share of lead

MANILA, Philippines – Heavyweights RC Cola-Army and F2 Logistics try to forge a three-way tie at the summit when they clash with separate foes in the 2016 Philippine Superliga (PSL) All-Filipino Conference women’s volleyball tournament today at the Cuneta Astrodome.

The Lady Troopers face Standard Insurance-Navy at 6 p.m., while the Cargo Movers test the mettle of Generika in the 4 p.m. encounter of this premier inter-club tournament bankrolled by KLab Cyscorpions, Asics, Grand Sports, Mikasa, Mueller and Senoh with TV5 as official broadcaster partner.

RC Cola-Army and F2 Logistics are tied at the second spot with 2-0 win-loss card while Petron occupies the top spot following a straight-set conquest of struggling Cignal late Tuesday, 25-14, 25-13, 25-27.

Arguably the most fluid squad in the league after winning the Invitational Cup title in the pre-season, the Lady Troopers are living up to their pre-tournament billing as the team to beat, thanks to their strong attacks and airtight net defense in their last wins.

The Lady Troopers opened their campaign with a straight set smothering of the young Amy’s side followed by another straight-set crushing of Cignal over the weekend, prompting their coach, Kungfu Reyes, to declare that they have regained their old and deadly form following a long break.
