PVL: Akari Chargers know job not done yet after prelims sweep
Akari completed a historic 8-0 sweep of the preliminary round in the 2024 PVL Reinforced Conference after defeating Farm Fresh in straight sets, securing the top seed.
This victory makes them the third team in the league's professional era to finish the elimination round undefeated, joining Cignal and Creamline.
Consistent import Oly Okaro led the record-setting win with 18 points, backstopped by Grethcel Soltones (15 points) and Ivy Lacsina (14 points).
Captain setter Michelle Cobb, initially questionable due to sickness, steered the offense with 17 excellent sets and 6 points.
Despite the milestone, Akari is shifting their focus to the crucial quarterfinals, acknowledging that their previous performance becomes irrelevant in the playoff round.
Team captain Mich Cobb stated that while the sweep is a confidence booster, the team cannot dwell on it and must concentrate on the upcoming playoff games.
