FOTON seeks a bounce-back win as the Tornadoes are expected to vent their ire on Sta. Lucia Realty in the Chooks to go Philippine Superliga (PSL) Grand Prix, which visits De La Salle Lipa Sentrum today in Lipa City.
After suffering its first lost to rival Petron, 21-25, 22-25, 25-12, 20-25, that halted their four-game streak on Tuesday, the Tornadoes seek payback in their 4 p.m. game against the Lady Realtors, who are brimming with confidence after finally getting their first win to end a three-game skid.
F2 Logistics aims for a firmer hold of the top spot when it eyes its fifth straight win against the winless Victoria Sports-University of Santo Tomas (UST), which is trying to avoid a fourth straight loss at 7 p.m.
The Tornadoes of Head Coach Moro Branislav are back on the drawing board after that loss to the Blaze Spikers, who were led by import Lindsay Stalzer’s 23 points. Stalzer powered Foton to two Grand Prix titles before transferring to Petron.
Serbian Sara Klisura scored 29 points to singlehandedly carry Foton in that lost, prompting Branislav to motivate the rest of the team to make their contributions.
Katarina Vukamanovic of Serbia and Dragana Perunicnic of Montenegro, as well as the local support bannered by 6-foot-5 superstar Jaja Santiago, Maika Ortiz, Jen Reyes and EJ Laure are expected to step up for Foton.
Sta. Lucia has become a dangerous side after snapping a 0-3 start with a morale-boosting victory over Victoria Sports-UST, 25-19, 25-21, 25-19, on Tuesday.
