The Choco Mucho Flying Titans aim to close out their 2025 PVL Reinforced Conference campaign on a winning note as they battle the Akari Chargers on Tuesday, November 18, at the Ynares Center in Montalban.

With their quarterfinal bid officially out of reach, the Flying Titans enter their final outing focused on regaining confidence and finishing the conference with pride. 

Choco Mucho has struggled late in the elimination round, dropping its last three matches, including a straight-set loss to sister team Creamline.

Despite the tough stretch, Tia Andaya will look to orchestrate a win for the Flying Titans, sharing the playmaking duties with fellow setter Deanna Wong.

Alongside Andaya, Choco Mucho will need strong performances from veterans Maddie Madayag, Isa Molde, Cherry Nunag and Kat Tolentino — all proven scorers capable of taking charge in their final outing.

The match also marks the last appearance of import Marlee Smith this conference, giving her one more opportunity to leave a mark after a challenging campaign hampered by inconsistent rhythm and tough matchups.

It has been a frustrating campaign for the Flying Titans, but they are hoping to give their passionate fans something to cheer about heading into next year.

The Choco Mucho–Akari matchup serves as the second game of Tuesday’s triple-header at 4:00 p.m. in Montalban.
