However, in the updated results from PCAP, they descended back to  second place despite having the same win-loss record of 17-4 with the Camarines Soaring Eagles.

Camarines retained the top spot in the south division standings with a higher accumulated points of 297.5 over Cordova’s 275.

But the Dagami Warriors still have a chance of retaking the lead as they play against north division’s No.8 team, the Isabela Knights (12-9) and the No. 9 squad, the Cavite Spartans (7-14) on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Trojans, who also won both their matches last Sunday, will face formidable foes.

They will go up against north division’s No. 5 ranked Antipolo Cobras (15-6) and the top-ranked San Juan Predators (19-2).

The Trojans are currently in fourth place in the south division standings with a 14-7 win-loss card.

On the other hand, the Lapu-Lapu Naki Warriors (7-14), who are seventh in the standings, will push pawns versus the bottom-ranked and winless Olongapo Rainbow Team 7 (0-21) and the No. 2 team in the north division, the Manila Indios (18-3).

The Cebu City Machers will face the Spartans and the No. 8 team in the north, the Cagayan Kings. The Machers are ranked eighth in the south division with 6-15 (win-loss) record.
