The Capital1 Solar Spikers look to pile on the Cignal HD Spikers' woes with another upset, this time in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference play-in tournament.
The Capital1 Solar Spikers will look to defy the odds and keep their quarterfinal hopes alive as they take on the Cignal HD Spikers in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference play-in tournament at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Thursday, March 6.
Coming off a tough straight-sets loss to the Petro Gazz Angels in the qualifying round, Capital1 is eager to bounce back, banking on the energy and potential of rookie Leila Cruz alongside the veteran presence of Jorelle Singh.
Cruz, who finished with a team-high 16 points in the qualifying round loss, is expected to play another big role in stabilizing the Solar Spikers’ attack.
However, coach Roger Gorayeb knows that the entire team must elevate their game against a battle-tested Cignal squad that boasts two bronze-medal finishes in the All-Filipino.
A victory would be a massive confidence booster for Capital1, but with only one team advancing from Pool A, the Solar Spikers must find a way to outplay Cignal and gain momentum for a possible do-or-die matchup.
