PVL: Soyud, Lacsina connive as Akari survives Choco Mucho in thriller

Eli Soyud and Ivy Lacsina joined forces to help Akari outlast Akari in a back-and-forth affair for a 25-19, 22-25, 25-21, 19-25, 16-14 win in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference Sikab Series on Saturday.

Soyud and Lacsina both fired 17 points with the latter also grabbing 11 digs and 14 receptions to finish with a triple-double in a game that lasted for two hours and 33 minutes.

The Chargers also got ample help from the rest of the crew as Fifi Sharma dropped eights points while primary setter Mars Alba had 19 excellent sets alongside three points.

By fending off the Flying Titans, Akari improved to an even 3-3 card while sending Choco Mucho to third loss in four games for a similar 3-3 record.
