PVL: Savi Davison leads PLDT get back vs rival Akari
PLDT avenged their previous controversial loss to Akari by sweeping them, 25-22, 25-16, 25-15, in the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference.
The rematch on Saturday, January 18, saw PLDT achieve payback after their semifinal exit in the Reinforced Conference.
The controversy stemmed from a disputed net touch call in the fifth set of their previous match in August 2024, which PLDT felt unfairly allowed Akari to tie the game and eventually win.
PLDT coach Rald Ricafort advised his team to maintain focus despite the heightened emotions stemming from the previous contested match.
The High Speed Hitters improved to 4-2 in the standings, tying Chery Tiggo, while the Chargers fell to a 3-4 card.
Savi Davison top-scored for PLDT with 15 points, and she did not participate in the controversial semis match.
Kim Dy and Kim Fajardo remain sidelined for PLDT due to knee injuries.
