The Capital1 Solar Spikers get back at the Choco Mucho Flying Titans to secure the third spot in Pool A of the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference.
The Capital1 Solar Spikers secured the top 3 spot in Pool A after turning back the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in straight sets, 25-23, 26-24, 25-19, in the 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Tuesday, November 4.
Contrary to their first outing on opening day, the Solar Spikers had the better endgame composure to nab a close sweep against the Flying Titans.
Ahead 18-17, Capital1 pushed ahead with a 6-1 blast led by import Oleksandra Bytsenko to reach match point. Royse Tubino would get one back for Choco Mucho, but the Ukrainian spiker would end the match with a drop ball.
Bytsenko finished with 17 points on 15 attacks and two service aces to lead the Solar Spikers to a 3-2 record, while dropping the Flying Titans to a 2-3 record for fourth.
Choco Mucho got the best of Capital1 in their first meeting last October 7, 33-31, 26-24, 25-23, but the game did not count due to issues with their respective imports.
