The Akari Chargers will have another shot at opening their 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference with a victory as they go toe-to-toe with the defending champion Creamline Cool Smashers on Saturday, October 11.

First serve is schedule for 6:30 p.m. at the City of Dasmariñas Arena.

After a tough five-set loss to ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles, which will now be replayed, the Chargers are determined to show their mettle against the Cool Smashers. 

Now led by their American import Annie Mitchem, who is expected to make a big impact this conference, Akari also features a strong local lineup with Grethcel Soltones, Eli Soyud, Chenie Tagaod, Ced Domingo, and Fifi Sharma.

Looking to repeat or even improve their silver medal finish last year, the Chargers are hungry for redemption after a rough start and are ready to make a statement.

Akari’s solid all-around game, led by Mitchem and their deep bench, will be tested by Creamline’s star-studded roster. However, the Chargers are fully focused on proving that they can hang with the league’s best.
