Creamline star Alyssa Valdez currently leads the Conference Most Valuable Player race after the double-round eliminations of the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference.

A winner of last year’s Reinforced Conference MVP plum, the 25-year-old opposite spiker has tallied 280 points from spikes, blocks and service departments.

The former Ateneo standout also leads the Best Spiker race with 231 attacks, as well as in the Best Server plum where she walloped 34 aces.

Trailing Valdez is Pocari Sweat-Air Force star Myla Pablo, who has 267 points, followed by BanKo-Perlas’s Dzi Gervacio (207), Ateneo-Motolite’s Kat Tolentino (202) and Tacloban’s Jovielyn Prado (172).

Meanwhile, semifinal action heats up on Wednesday at The Arena in San Juan City with top seed Creamline facing No. 4 PetroGazz, and second-ranked BanKo-Perlas colliding with No. 3 Ateneo-Motolite. Both affairs will be played in a best-of-three format.
