MANILA – Richmarc Sports 3B and VNS-Nasty will try to end their respective slump when they clash in the 2024 Spikers’ Turf Open Conference at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig on Friday.

The Elite Spikers and the Griffins square off at 4 p.m.

Kernel Ipulan and Kurl Rosete will lead Richmarc Sports 3B's bid to barge into the win column after four losses.

Ipulan had nine spikes and one ace while Rosete made four attacks and two blocks in their game against the Philippine Navy on April 5.

VNS-Nasty, on the other hand, is expected to lean on Manuel Medina, who scored 18 points against the D’Navigators, also on April 5.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Air Force eyes its second victory against the winless Maverick at 6 p.m.

Bryan Jaleco, Pol Salvador, Louis Lumanlan, and former UAAP juniors MVP Wesley Cajolo will banner the Airmen, who are hoping to bounce back after three straight defeats.

The Hard Hitters, on the other hand, will depend on team captain Razzel Palisoc and Jerome Cordez. (PNA)
