The Capital1 Solar Spikers aim to steady themselves and return to winning form as they take on the Choco Mucho Flying Titans in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday, Feb. 17, at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.

Coming off two straight losses, the Solar Spikers are focused on rediscovering the impressive showing that defined their opening day victory. 

Bella Belen will continue to lead the Capital1 squad after putting up a career-high 28 points in their loss to the PLDT High Speed Hitters.

The Solar Spikers, however, will need more from their middle blockers in Cherry Nunag and Pauline Gaston.

Nunag, who will face her former team after leaving during the offseason, remains a stabilizing presence in the middle, hoping to draw attention from opposing blockers and opening space for secondary options to contribute.

This means that support from Pauline Gaston, Ysa Jimenez, and Shaya Adorador will also be critical as Capital1 looks to spread the scoring load and avoid leaning too heavily on one attacker. 

For the Solar Spikers, this matchup is less about making a statement and more about reasserting control of their own game. 

With the standings still tightly packed, Capital1 views the clash as an opportunity to re-establish momentum and remain firmly in the hunt as the All-Filipino Conference moves deeper into its preliminary round.

First serve is set for 4:00 p.m.
