Petro Gazz aims to take advantage of the golden opportunity to erase the bitter memory of its past campaigns and end the Premier Volleyball League 2022 season wearing the Reinforced Conference crown.

The Angels are treating Game 2 of the best-of-three finals against Cignal as a no-tomorrow match as they shoot to retain their hold of the throne on Tuesday at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City.

Opening serve is at 5:30 p.m. after the battle for bronze meeting between bitter rivals Creamline and Chery Tiggo at 2:30 p.m.

After a runner-up finish in the Open Conference and a disappointing fifth in the Invitational tournament, Petro Gazz has no intention of letting this first of two chances of claiming the season-ending title slip away.

"We want to redeem ourselves from the bad performances we had in our previous conferences," Angels coach Rald Ricafort said.

Petro Gazz's composure spelled the difference in the series opener last Thursday as it outhustled Cignal, 25-21, 27-25, 37-25, to get within an arm's reach of a title repeat after ruling the import-laden conference in 2019 before the tournament was shelved for two years because of the pandemic.

American import Lindsey Vander Weide, who was unstoppable in Game 1 after dropping a career-best 34 points, will try to lead the Angels to victory lane.

"We're really focused right now, we've been playing really well so we just have to stay consistent and keep the same energy that we have," she said.

Helping out Vander Weide is a crack crew of locals led by setter Djanel Cheng, MJ Phillips, Aiza Pontillas, Myla Pablo and Remy Palma.

Pablo shoots for a taste of another title after winning the 2017 Reinforced Conference under Pocari Sweat while Pontillas guns to add a PVL crown to her collection of championships after winning University Athletic Association of the Philippines, Shakey's V-League and Philippine Superliga titles.
