AFTER her record-breaking 56 points, Gyselle Silva is on the spotlight as Smart seeks to come up with a strong finish in the classification phase of the Chooks to Go-Philippine Superliga Grand Prix today at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
The Giga Hitters will battle a red-hot Sta. Lucia Realty at 7 p.m. in a bid to snap their nine-game losing streak in this prestigious women’s club tourney bankrolled by Isuzu and UCPB Gen with ESPN5 as official broadcast partner.
Prior to that, Cignal faces Generika-Ayala in the first match at 4:15 p.m. to improve its own quarterfinal position in a battle that also has Senoh, Mikasa, Asics, LGR and Grand Sport as technical sponsors.
Reigning champion F2 Logistics gained the right to face eighth-seed Smart after booking their ninth win in 10 games following an impressive 25-17, 25-18, 25-17 victory over Foton late Tuesday.
Petron, which prevailed over Cocolife in a five-set thriller, grabbed the second spot while the Asset Managers (6-4) and the Tornadoes (5-5) will occupy the third and fourth places armed with twice-to-beat incentives.
Smart is set to face F2 Logistics while Generika-Ayala will tangle with Petron in the next round starting this Saturday at the Gen. Trias Sports Center in Gen. Trias City in Cavite.
Cignal, which has a 3-6 win-loss card, still has a slight chance to improve its quarterfinal placing if it wins via straight sets over Generika-Ayala while hoping that Sta. Lucia (4-5) also suffers a straight sets loss to Smart in the other match of this blockbuster double-header.
