Cignal eyes no. 3 seed in PVL playoffs with win over Akari

The Cignal HD Spikers are aiming to secure the No. 3 seed in the PVL All-Filipino Conference playoffs by defeating the Akari Chargers.

A win would give Cignal a favorable matchup against the 10th-ranked team in the first round of the playoffs.

Cignal is currently tied with PLDT and Choco Mucho but holds the third spot due to a higher points total.

The Akari Chargers, currently at 5-5, have an opportunity to qualify for the top half of the playoff bracket with an upset win.

The tournament format ensures all teams make the playoffs, with higher seeds playing lower seeds in the initial rounds.

The top six teams advance to the semifinals, while the remaining slots are decided through a play-in tournament.

Cignal's rookie Ishie Lalongisip expressed the team's determination to win, recognizing the significance of the upcoming game.
