PVL: Akari turns back new-look ZUS Coffee for a 2-0 start
Akari secured its second consecutive win in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference by defeating ZUS Coffee in four sets (25-14, 25-21, 19-25, 25-23).
The Akari Chargers, last conference's runner-up, previously won their opening game against the Galeries Tower Highrisers.
Key players Faith Nisperos, Eli Soyud, Grethcel Soltones, and Ivy Lacsina scored in double figures in their opening game.
Ivy Lacsina led the Chargers with 24 points against ZUS Coffee, while Eli Soyud contributed 15 points.
ZUS Coffee's debutante rookie Thea Gagate, who recently played for Alas Pilipinas, tried to rally her team in the fourth set.
Despite a strong push from ZUS Coffee in the third set and a late comeback in the fourth, Akari sealed the victory with kills from Faith Nisperos and Ivy Lacsina.
Akari is now competing without their prolific import Oly Okaro in the all-Filipino conference.
