The PLDT High Speed Hitters are set to launch their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference campaign with renewed determination, facing the Nxled Chameleons in their season opener Tuesday.

Coming off a controversial finish to their Reinforced Conference run, PLDT is focused on re-establishing themselves as a title contender, despite injury concerns lingering over the roster.

Star spiker Savi Davison missed all of the Reinforced Conference due to a nagging knee injury, while prized recruit Kianna Dy, yet to make her debut for the High Speed Hitters, remains on the mend.

However, the extended All-Filipino Conference format offers hope that these key players can return to full strength when it matters most for PLDT.

Even with these setbacks, PLDT boasts a powerful lineup anchored by elite middle blockers Mika Reyes, Majoy Baron, and Dell Palomata, bringing experience, height, and skill to the court.

Guided by champion coach Rald Ricafort, the High Speed Hitters aim to make an immediate impact in the All-Filipino.

First serve against Nxled is set for 4:00 p.m. live from the PhilSports Arena.
