Two playoff-bound squads aim to bolster their momentum ahead of the round-robin semifinals while two others seek redemption and pride as the 2024 Spikers’ Turf Open Conference eliminations draw to a close today (Sunday).
The Navy Sealions and D’Navigators, currently tied at third spot with 5-2 records, look to break the deadlock at 6 p.m. as the country’s premier men’s volleyball league heads to the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila.
D’Navigators head coach Boyet Delmoro has emphasized the importance of taking it one game at a time, focusing on their match against the Sealions fueled by their recent victory over the RichMarc Sports 3B Elite Spikers.
Navy, on the other hand, tries to rebound from a four-set defeat against Criss Cross.
“Ang nagiging sistema namin ngayon, one at a time. Katulad niyan, natapos namin ‘to. Ang paghahandaan namin, ‘yun namang Navy. Sana tuluy-tuloy na ito,” said Delmoro.
Leading the charge for the D’Navigators are Francis Saura and Justine Santos, while the Sealions rely on the lethal combination of Joeven Dela Vega and Greg Dolor to secure the coveted No. 3 seed.
