F2 Logistics, Foton vie for top seeding
Games Today (Batangas City Coliseum) 5 p.m. – F2 Logistics vs Sta. Lucia 7 p.m. – Foton vs Petron
Foton and reigning champion F2 Logistics aim for the top seeding in their respective groups when they collide with separate foes today in the Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Conference at the Batangas City Coliseum.
The Tornadoes square off with the dangerous Petron Blaze Spikers in the 7 p.m. nightcap while the Cargo Movers battle the Sta. Lucia Lady Realtors at 5 p.m. in the penultimate preliminary playdate of the tournament.
Apart from tightening its grip on the top seat of Pool C, Foton also guns for a sweep of the preliminaries to bol- ster its title campaign.
The Tornadoes tote a flawless 5-0 winloss record following their hard-earned 1925, 20-25, 25-18, 25-15, 15-7 triumph over the Generika-Ayala Lifesavers two days ago.
Preliminary rankings are crucial in their crossover quarterfinal matchups between the two groups. In foton’s campaign, the top seed in Pool C clashes with the No. 4 team in Pool D in the next round.
But Petron, which hopes to bounce back from a stinging 11-25, 25-23, 29-27, 26-24 loss to Cignal last Thursday, still seeks a better seeding in Pool C after dropping to third with a 3-2 card.
Jaja Santiago remains a force to reckon with at the attack line for Foton after exploding with 26 points in their last match, but the Tornadoes needed to find their momentum quickly after a slow start against Generika-Ayala.
