MANILA, Philippines - Pocari Sweat and Hair Fairy Air Force face off today in a key duel for the second semifinal berth while BaliPure tries to stay in the Final Four hunt against ousted Adamson in the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference at the Filoil Center in San Juan.

The Lady Warriors and the Lady Jet Spikers are coming off contrasting wins last Saturday to assure themselves of at least a playoff for the last semis spot with 4-1 slates with both teams raring to unleash their full might to formalize their Final Four entry.

Gametime is at 6:30 p.m.

Air Force blew a two-set lead and scrambled in the fifth to pull off a a 25-22, 26-24, 18-25, 17-25, 15-13 escape over the Power Smashers last weekend, in the process booting out the latter from the semis race in the mid-season conference of the league organized by Sports Vision.

Pocari, on the other hand, primed up for its match against Air Force with a straight-set 25-23, 25-14, 25-19 romp over Adamson.

Pocari coach Rico de Guzman will again pin his hopes on Myla Pablo, who came through with a 17-hit game the last time out with Maricar Nepomuceno stepping up to fire 14 points.
