Perlas, P Smashers duel for solo 2nd

Perlas and the Power Smashers break a three-way tie for second as they collide today even as Pocari Sweat seeks to snap a two-game skid against Air Force in the Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference at the FilOil Flying V Center in San Juan.

Perlas stunned fancied Creamline in four but fell to Air Force in five, while the Power Smashers ripped Pocari Sweat but succumbed to the hot-starting BaliPure for joint second with the Cool Smashers, who rebounded from a stinging four-set setback to Perlas with a straight-set romp over Air Force last Thursday.
