Pocari Sweat tries to make it two-in-row after back-to-back setbacks, facing a surging Perlas side even as Creamline takes on the Power Smashers in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at the FilOil Flying V Center in San Juan today. The Lady Warriors checked an early skid with a 25-22, 25-14, 25-22 romp over the Air Force Lady Jet Spikers Saturday night as they got back into the groove after dropping their first two matches to the Power Smashers and the BaliPure Water Defenders. But the defending champions will be facing a Perlas side that has hurdled two of its first three games, barely going perfect with a five-set loss to Air Force last Tuesday. But the Perlas Lady Spikers are out to firm up their hold of second behind the unbeaten Water Defenders (3-0) with coach Jerry Yee expected to bank on his former UP aces Kathy Bersola and Nicole Tiamzon and former Ateneo standouts Dzi Gervacio, Amy Ahomiro, Ella de Jesus and ace setter Jem Ferrer. Alyssa Valdez and Creamline, in solo third at 1-1, also gear up for their next big match as they take on the Power Smashers (1-2) at 6:30 p.m.
