PSL All-Filipino Cup Game Preview: Match #8 Petron Blaze Spikers (1-0) vs Generika-Ayala Lifesavers (0-1)

Two teams with talent and strength on the wings will do battle as Petron Blaze Spikers go head to head against the Generika-Ayala Lifesavers in the Main Game of the PSL All-Filipino Cup At November 6 over at the Fil-oil San Juan Arena.

The Blaze Spikers won their first game last October 30 against a hapless Cocolife during that time. Coach Shaq Delos Santos rotated his players well led by Aiza Pontillas and Ces Molina but the X-Factor of that game was Rhea Dimaculangan outsetting the whole Asset Managers during that game, 28-22 in favor of Dmac herself which made the difference in that game. As for Generika, they were coming off a 5-set loss to Foton Blue Energy last Saturday where in costly errors cost them the game but the positive of that game came in the form of Fiola Ceballos. Ceballos scored 21 points in that match and was supported by Beach Villeyball partner Patty Orendain and Skipper Angeli Araneta with a combine 29 points showing that this Lifesavers team has all the talents to get them over the hump and with Coach Sherwin Meneses on the sidelines, for sure this talent-laden squad will gel and perform well on the court.

PLAYERS MATCH-UP

Two of the best leaders on and off the court do battle in what can say is “The Captains Battle”. Neta, her teammates call her, has shown a leadership quality that bonded this team together for a long time and it shows inside and outside the court. Her qualities show the desire of this team to finally get over the hump and reach the semis even the finals but to get through that, she needs to battle another Kapitana. Ces Molinan has been the captain of the Blaze Spikers since last year. Even though she has been plagued by various injuries, she has proven once 100%, she is something special. A battle of this two spikers will definitely be special and interesting.
