LOOK: PSL Grand Prix 2016 schedule

Philstar.com
Defending Philippine Super Liga Grand Prix champion Foton Tornadoes begin their quest for a back to back title in a rematch with last year's finalists Petron when the 2016 edition opens on October 8 at the FilOil Flying V-Centre in San Juan.
 
Fresh from their Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship, Foton looks to defend their Grand Prix crown by parading their solid core with returning import Lindsay Stalzer and Ariel Usher.
 
Petron, who was dethroned by Foton, wants their crown back. The Tri-Activ Spikers acquired the service of Cignal’s setter April Hingpit. Lethal lefty Aiza Maizo, Frances Molina and Mina Aganon will return for Petron along with floor generals Jen Reyes and Bang Pineda. Middle blocker Serena Warner and Stephanie Niemer will support the locals to take back the title they last had two years ago.
 
Before the finals rematch, All Filipino Conference champion F2 Logistics Cargo Movers will face the young Generika Lifesavers squad.
 
The core of the champion squad, including Mika Reyes, Aby Marano, Cha Cruz and Ara Galang will return for the Ramil de Jesus mentored squad. Another former De La Salle Lady Spiker Cienne Cruz will see action for the first time in the PSL. Cignal’s Djanel Cheng and Janine Navarro will jump ship to further boost F2.
 
Veteran coach Francis Vicente will return to coach an intact squad with Rubie de Leon, Gen Casugod and Wensh Tiu.
Generika will bring in 6’5” Darlene Ramdin and Ukrainian Plina Liutikova as their foreign reinforcements.
 
Cignal and RC-Cola Army both had opening day bye and will face Foton and F2 respectively on October 11.
