The PLDT High Speed Hitters head into the bronze medal series with confidence after sweeping the Cignal Super Spikers, 25-17, 25-22, 25-23, in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
In the third set, PLDT was on the verge of closing out the match with a 23-19 lead, but Cignal’s second unit fought back to tie the game at 23-all behind Jessa Ordiales and a couple of errors from the High Speed Hitters. Alleiah Malaluan and Mika Reyes, however, delivered in the clutch to seal the straight-sets victory.
“Sadyang unfortunate na hindi namin nakuha ‘yung goal namin, pero kailangan mag-move on agad,” said High Speed Hitters head coach Rald Ricafort. “‘Yung pagiging hard sa sarili namin di maiiwasan, pero ‘yung trabaho, kailangan mag-show up pa rin. Gusto pa rin namin kunin ‘yung bronze,” he added.
Savi Davison Still Leads Way for PLDT
Savi Davison led the High Speed Hitters with 21 points built on 17 attacks, 2 blocks, and 2 aces. Malaluan added 11 points and 14 excellent receptions.
Setter Kim Fajardo orchestrated the offense with 23 excellent sets and 10 excellent digs, while Kath Arado anchored the defense with 13 excellent digs and 12 excellent receptions.
Mika Reyes, Majoy Baron, and Kianna Dy chipped in 7 points apiece.
For the Super Spikers, Ordiales was the lone player in double figures with 13 points.
