Coincidentally, both scoring explosions happened at the Flying Titans’ expense, and both in five-set decisions. Between Rivera’s history-making game on November 3, 2022, and Okaro’s masterful Tuesday showcase, Akari did not even win a set against Choco Mucho, losing all its three matches in sweeps. Kamille Cal set up Okaro and the rest in the winning cause with 22 excellent sets, while Grethcel Soltones scattered 12 points, 13 excellent receptions, and 9 excellent digs. Former Akari star Dindin Santiago-Manabat led the Titans’ losing cause with 16 as import Zoi Faki scored 14.Continuing the underdogs’ momentum, the Capital1 Solar Spikers nabbed only their second franchise win in shocking fashion: a 26-24, 25-20, 25-18 blowout of the defending champion Petro Gazz Angels.
Reigning All-Filipino MVP Brooke Van Sickle went down swinging with 19 points in the loss, while import Wilma Salas only scored 7 on a 7-of-39 attack clip. The Angels also missed the services of captain middle blocker Remy Palma and two-time PVL MVP-turned-reserve Myla Pablo.
