Cignal ousted defending champion Kurashiki Ablaze, 25-23, 19-25, 25-23, 22-25, 15-11, to arrange a championship match with Creamline in the Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference at the Philsports Arena in Pasig City Wednesday night, Sept. 11.
The HD Spikers drew strength from hard-hitting MJ Perez particularly in the crunch to book their second finals appearance in league history. The last time they played for the title was in the 2022 Reinforced Conference where they lost to Petro Gazz.
Tied at 10 after an off-the-block spike from Saki Tanabe for the Ablaze, the HD Spikers launched their offensive onslaught with a running attack from 11 and back-to-back hits from Perez. The Ablaze attempted to destroy the HD Spikers’ solid net defense with multiple kills, but an attack from Yano sailed long, giving Cignal the victory.
Skipper Ces Molina also sparkled for the HD Spikers with 13 points, whileJackie Acuña was a revelation after tallying 10 points the same as Riri Meneses.
