Defending champion Kurashiki Ablaze from Japan secured their second consecutive win in the 2024 PVL Invitational Conference by defeating Farm Fresh in straight sets: 25-13, 25-16, 25-16.

Low Mei Cing led the Ablaze with 12 points, including seven attacks and four blocks, supported by Saya Taniguchi with 10 points and six excellent digs.

Kurashiki coach Hideo Suzuki noted that Farm Fresh may not have had much time to prepare with Asaka Tamaru recently joining the team, but believes their game is gradually improving.

Suzuki expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, stating they finally "played the Ablaze way of volleyball."

Farm Fresh had Asaka Tamaru score eight points and Trisha Tubu finish with nine markers.

The team's winning streak now extends to seven games, following their opening win against Thailand's EST Cola.

Kurashiki Ablaze will compete against PVL teams Creamline, Farm Fresh, and Cignal in the tournament.
