Chase for PVL quarters resumes

MANILA, Philippines — Four teams, including red-hot PLDT, aim to catch the last bus to the quarterfinal round of the PVL All-Filipino Conference today at the PhilSports Arena.

The High Speed Hitters, the No. 4 seeds with an 8-3 record, come in as the favorites when they clash with the ZUS Thunderbelles (No. 9 with a 4-7 mark) at 6:30 p.m.

PLDT rides the momentum of a four-game streak highlighted by an epic 30-25, 25-21, 23-25, 18-25, 16-14 win over reigning champion Creamline last Feb. 15 in Antipolo.

Also seeking a place in the best-of-three quarters are Farm Fresh and Akari, which collide at 4 p.m. The Foxies and the Chargers finished the elims with identical 5-6 marks. But the former took the higher seeding at sixth.
