Davison lifts PLDT over Solar Spikers for first win in PVL

MANILA, Philippines — The PLDT High Speed Hitters finally found their groove in the 2026-27 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) All-Filipino Conference-Siklab Series. Considered one of the top teams in the league, the two-time PVL champions started the tournament with back-to-back losses at the hands of Nxled and Akari. On Saturday, PLDT outplayed the Capital 1 Solar Spikers in four sets, 21-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-21, at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. Savi Davison flaunted her form for PLDT, scoring 28 points on 23 attacks, four blocks, and an ace, along with 18 excellent receptions, after being limited by Akari to just five points in their previous game. “It’s really hard, not going to lie. I feel like I carry the offensive side, but we do have a lot of pressure on us internally and externally. We like to say pressure is a privilege; pressure makes diamonds. It’s the same time you have to calm yourself down, and everyone has a bad day,” Davison said during the post-game presser.  Kianna Dy and Dell Palomata added 11 and eight points, respectively for PLDT. Ange Alcantara made 15 excellent sets for PLDT, while Kath Arado took care of the team’s floor defense with 27 excellent digs. Bella Belen led Capital 1 with 23 points, 10 excellent digs, and 19 excellent receptions while Vanie Gandler chipped in 16 points. Erika Santos scored 15 points but was not enough to overcome the High Speed Hitters. PLDT improved to a 1-2 win-loss card, while Capital 1 dropped to 2-2.
