PSL All Filipino Cup Game Preview: Match #6 Foton Tornadoes Blue Energy (1-0) vs Cignal HD Spikers (1-1)


Two teams targeting to get its second win battle it out as the Foton Tornadoes Blue Energy battle it out with the Cignal HD Spikers over at the Fil-oil San Juan Arena tomorrow 2 PM.

The Blue Energy, still missing the services of both Santiago Sisters, came off a 5-set win against the Generika Ayala Lifesavers last Saturday. They were led by Carmina Aganon and Maika Ortiz who scored a combine 32 points and was supported by former UE Lady Warrior Shaya Adorador, Gen Casugod and new addition Arriane Layug in a match that showed how they really missed Jaja and Dindin Santiago, both of whom are playing in Japan. Aganon proved to be the most valuable of them all as she showed new coach Aaron Velez that she can be a player the Blue Energy can go to.

For the HD Spikers, it was a game that everyone can say was a thriller. Cignal lost the first set but won the next two sets and leading the fourth set 19-13 against Cocolife, but the complacency showed as they lost the set and we all know what happend in the last set. Mylene Paat continues to be the beaming light for Cignal with her average of 14.5 points, while Skipper Rachel Anne Daquis continues her steaddy play with an average of 12 points per match as both her and Paat will be the players to go to for Cignal HD.

PLAYERS MATCH-UP


Both players have showed that they are competitive in rolling on the floor, literally. Jen Reyes, played her hearts out in their win against Generika registering 31 excellent digs without any replacement for the duration of the 5-set match which proves how much she is as a libero. But not to be disregarded is  the pocket sized libero herself, Jheck Dionela. Dionela has registered  superb numbers during the last 2 games 24 digs and 13 excellent receptions proving that she can still mop the floor as well as any liberos here in the PSL.
