Flying Titans to miss Tolentino
CHOCO Mucho will miss one of its main offensive options as it battles with PLDT today in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference at the Philsports Arena today.
The Flying Titans won’t have Kat Tolentino in their 6:30 p.m. duel with the High Speed Hitters as the veteran opposite spiker is recovering from a ruptured appendix after being hospitalized for severe abdominal pains on Monday.
The club through its social media posts said that Tolentino underwent surgery on Tuesday and is currently resting.
Choco Mucho, which is currently tied with Chery Tiggo in the middle of the pack at 4-3, will now turn to Dindin Santiago-Manabat, who had a solid outing in last Saturday’s come-from-behind 20-25, 20-25, 25-22, 25-22, 15-9 win over ZUS Coffee.
Sisi Rondina, the No. 1 scorer in the league, will be at the forefront of the Flying Titans’ offense together with Isa Molde.
Sporting a 4-2 record, PLDT hopes to keep within striking distance of defending champion Creamline (5-0), PetroGazz (6-1) and Cignal (5-1).
Savi Davison, Erika Santos and Fiola Ceballos will be they key for the High Speed Hitters in securing a second straight win.
Akari hopes to rebound from a 22-25, 16-25, 15-25 loss to PLDT last Saturday as it takes on Nxled in the 4 p.m. curtain raiser.
The Chargers hold a 3-4 record, while the Chameleons are still winless in six matches under Italian coach Guidetti Ettore.
Ivy Lacsina will lead Akari’s charge, while Chiara Permentilla hopes to sustain her consistent play for Nxled while getting the needed support from her teammates to end the slide.
