The Cignal Super Spikers look to maintain their spot at the top of the standings as they face the Akari Chargers in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Cignal Super Spikers aim to strengthen their hold on first place as they face Akari in the 2026 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Saturday, February 28, at the FilOil Centre in San Juan.
At the halfway mark of the single-round preliminaries, Cignal sits at 4-1 atop the standings, showing consistency built on structure and discipline.
After seeing their opening three-game streak snapped by the Nxled Chameleons, the Super Spikers responded with a statement win over previously unbeaten PLDT High Speed Hitters.
Cignal's strength continues to lie in its system, anchored by the tandem of Erika Santos and Vanie Gandler, who combined for 31 points in their win over PLDT.
Behind that pair, the Super Spikers have benefited from steady contributions across the lineup.
Ishie Lalongisip and Tin Tiamzon have been part of that balance, providing reliable support and helping stabilize rotations as the Super Spikers maintain pace against varied opponents.
Lalongisip, in particular, proved to be crucial against the High Speed Hitters with seven markers and nine excellent receptions.
Setter Gel Cayuna, meanwhile, continues to direct traffic, while Roselyn Doria-Aquino and Jackie Acuña contribute to the team’s defensive structure.
