Faced with manpower issues following the departure of Ces Molina and Riri Meneses, the Cignal HD Spikers face a win-hungry Galeries Tower side in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Cignal HD Spikers will look to regain their winning ways as they take on the Galeries Tower Highrisers in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday, Jan. 21, at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
After suffering their first loss of the tournament to Petro Gazz Angels in straight sets last December 14, the HD Spikers (4-1) are eager to reclaim their dominant form.
However, the challenge is steep as they adjust to the departure of key players Ces Molina and Riri Meneses, who opted not to renew their contracts for 2025.
Despite this setback, Cignal still boasts a formidable roster, including Alas Pilipinas standouts Vanie Gandler and Dawn Macandili. Gandler’s offensive firepower and Macandili’s unparalleled defensive prowess remain the team’s anchors as they navigate through this transitional period.
Galeries Tower, also coming off a loss, will be hungry for redemption amid its 1-5 slate in the tournament, but Cignal’s focus and resilience could be the difference-maker.
The match promises to be an intriguing battle, with both teams aiming to build momentum as the conference heats up.
