The PLDT High Speed Hitters will go for an early lead against the Choco Mucho Flying Titans as the two red-hot teams meet in the best-of-three PVL All-Filipino Conference quarterfinals series.
The PLDT High Speed Hitters are on a mission for redemption as they clash with the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in Game 1 of the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference quarterfinals at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig on Saturday, March 15.
The High Speed Hitters booked their quarterfinal ticket with a four-set victory over the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles, riding on the momentum of a strong finish in the elimination round.
Now, with a best-of-three series ahead, PLDT is eager to avenge their four-set loss to Choco Mucho earlier this season.
Kim Fajardo and Angge Alcantara will be at the heart of PLDT’s attack, orchestrating plays and setting up the team’s offensive weapons.
The two will look to maximize league-leading scorer Savi Davison, while also keeping Erika Santos, Majoy Baron, Fiola Ceballos, and Mika Reyes involved in the offense.

In their preliminary faceoff, Choco Mucho gained the upper hand in four sets, 21-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-18.
With a shot at the semifinals on the line, PLDT is determined to flip the script and take the upper hand in the series.
