The PLDT High Speed Hitters will look to keep their season alive as they battle the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in Game 2 of their 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference quarterfinals matchup at the PhilSports Arena on Thursday, March 20.

The High Speed Hitters are coming off a heartbreaking five-set loss in Game 1, where they failed to close out despite a strong start.

PLDT took the first two sets but ultimately faltered in the latter stages, allowing Choco Mucho to rally for a 20-25, 19-25, 25-15, 25-20, 18-16 win.

While Savi Davison carried the scoring load with 25 points and 19 excellent receptions, PLDT will need a more balanced effort in Game 2.

Erika Santos, along with Fiola Ceballos and Majoy Baron, must step up and provide much-needed support to force a deciding Game 3.

Tip-off is set for 4:00 p.m.
